Thanks, Shel. I have to get things at good prices... I can't afford to do it any other way! <g>
We'll see how sharp the lens is, and whether I got that good a deal. I do prefer primes, and intend eventually to start to acquire k-mount primes to cover the ranges that I need. However, I've always figured that getting a couple of zooms to cover approximately the 35-200 range is a cheap way to get most of the usable range I need (albeit at the cost of some sharpness). Now I can take my time and shop for those Takumar and Pentax primes that I covet - for the bargain prices that I need. And, I would never attach a body/lens to my helmet. I remember your advice in that regard - not that I want to revive that whole OT helmet/no helmet laws thread again! <vbg> regards, frank Shel Belinkoff wrote: > Hey Frank ... that's neat.
