Sorry, should be 90%. > Actually, I'm in a similar mood about the more practical DA*50~135 and it > could still happen. I won't get both.

The 50-135 is around $999 Canadian now, and the 60-250 looks like $1700 or there abouts. I have seen whar my D2H can do indoors with not so great light, but cannot test the K10D properly with out some fast zoomage. I have the 77 and DA F 50 but need longer than that for the most part. I suppose i could do some, along the rail shots with the 77 and that might give me some ideas.
