My K-500/4,5 is a very good lens, within its limitations. It has been a faithful companion. Usually I'm faithful too. But no rule without exception. So http://preview.tinyurl.com/25y5r6 I think US $747.00 is a good catch. It is a bit shorter, but should also be a lot easyer to handle. The K-500/4,5 is a lot of lens :-) Judging from the information I have found, it is a lot better at wide apertures. This should allow me to shoot at f:4,5. I have high hopes that a cropped image from this, will give better resultion and contrast, than from an uncropped image from the 500/4,5 Specially when shooting with large apertures. Comments?
I can also see a Tammy SP 180/2,5 in my horizon. Wonder how that lens works with an extender or three, as a semi macro. Anybody tried it? Tim Typo Mostly Harmless -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
