How often do you shoot distant subjects? My take on this is that the 50-135 is the people range and the 60-250 is the zoo range. (Actual wildlife would be the 200-500 Pentax has inexplicably failed to announce. :) I own neither lens but on the basis of the posted photos the 60-250 _is_ better; not hugely, but some. -- Graydon -- 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.
