Given Marnie's interest in telephoto, I wouldn't recommend the Fuji X series. The only real option is the 55-200, which is a bit short for a lens system and is rather heavy at nearly 1.3 pounds. By comparison, the Pentax DA 50-200 is only 0.6 pounds -- the extra weight for Fuji comes from both a slightly wider aperture and the OIS. It's also $700 compared with $130 or $240 for the Pentax depending on whether you want sealing. Heck, even the Pentax 55-300 is lighter than the Fuji 55-200. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- 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.
