"I'm not saying you cant use other specialty ranges but where are you going to get a good 18-80mm to go with your 80-200? "
Sigma makes a 17~70 that is quite nice according to the reviews. I doubt that it covers FF at the short end but might at the longer portion. That would be important to some. Personally, I have owned a few of the older Pentax zooms that were very nice, but I honestly feel much happier with the new stuff. My current stable of three DA lenses cover me seamlessly from 10mm to 200mm ( 17FE to 300 FF equivalent) Back in the 60's in my Nikon F days it required two rather large camera bags to carry the semi equivalent range of primes along with 4 camera bodies!) I was young and in better shape back then! :-) Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
