Can't say enough good things about this lens. Highly recommend it. Use this
lens when shooting my construction project, photo essays of events--most
recent was my organic farm field trip. When I'm playing at photojournalist,
I carry two cameras--one with the DA*50-135mm & the DA 45-16mm; it's a kit
that has served me well.
When I got the K10D the 1st lens I got was the FA 50 f1.4 to replace the kit
lens. Then I bought the DA* 50-135mm--never regretted it. Used it
constantly. I do use a lot of primes now, but mostly for street work--just
lighter and more discrete, but the DA* can be used for street work too--& it
worked great for the blizzard photo essay earlier this year--it is weather
sealed--and it's a go-to lens when I shoot landscape. It's sharp, great
color and texture, lovely bokeh. Very quiet focusing. Sooo worth the
money! Tell him to go for it, Brian. Cheers, Christine

G'day all
My son is looking at this lens for his K20D.
The reviews look good but I'm just wondering if anyone here has any
experience with it.
Cheers
Brian
