Yep, no doubts about the 24-90. It may seem expensive for a lens with consumer zoom build quality - that's because ALL the money is spent on the optics. It is fantastic.
Only exception is if you want better build and/or faster aperture, you can get a 3rd party (Tokina/Sigma) pro build F2.8 lens for that money. The Pentax has the better optics though, and is much lighter... > -----Original Message----- > From: Raimo Korhonen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 10 September 2002 17:19 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Vs: ZX5-N Lens > > > 3.5-4.5/24-90 Pentax (there is also a 24-135 Tamron - has > anybody used it?).
