Have you considered the bigma? I have the OS version and it is quite good for what it is. The OS is easily good for 4 stops at the long end too. AF is also quite fast but will hunt a lot in low contrast or low light situations. It's a great lens.

Wouldn't mind another F* 300/4.5, but that might be just a little pricey. Any other recommendations? AF is not a major concern. And I think I'm going to shut down my darkroom. Finally. In the future when I shoot film I'll just do b&w and have a neighborhood friend process & print for me. Might cost a little more but getting the basement space back will be good. -- 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. -- 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.
