My lightweight outfit is the *ist-D with the kit 18-55. The 16-50 has been on the K10D just about all the time. But as that also has the grip (with a second battery) I don't find the weight too much of a problem. In any case, it's a whole lot lighter than the FA* 80-200 :-) Mind you, I might have to carry the 16-50 more often. I happened to take a couple of near-identical shots, one with the 16-50, and one with the old FA 28-105. It was very noticeable that the 16-50 is *much* better than the 28-105 (both lenses at 50mm, f5.6, so that's not really too much of a surprise). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
