That's not always the case - back when I was regularly shooting motorsports (on film ...) I was used to seeing a lot of the full-time photographers using the Canon L 35-350, which was an amazingly good lens. But that was the exception (and by now I suspect modern digital sensors would point out flaws in that lens that we didn't see when limited by film resolution). -- 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.
