This is a computer website, not a photo oriented website so don't ask too much.
However they do indeed point the particuliar K10D features and there
are interesting comparison photos.
Didn't have time to read everyting but it seems a quite honest review
from a tech site.

This is why I like the Tamron 28-300 on the *istD. My current condition
makes it extremely difficult to carry around extra lenses. However, I hope
to improve enough by next spring to take my full complement of lenses to
GFM.

I'm not a fan of such lenses generally.
A friend of mine who also isn't seems to be very happy with the Sigma
17-70 of late. Not that I love Sigma, but I have usually found John's
choices to be apt.

What class is that - wide focal range zooms (what else is in that class?),
price range, quality range? What lenses are in those classes?

If he goes with Nikon, he also has the option of the
18-200mm, which is supposed to be superb for its class.
Superzooms. The Sigma and Tamron 18-200's, and the Nikkor, which is
significantly better optically, 1/2 stop faster at the long end and
3-4x the price (Although much of the price difference is in the VR)

Superzoom = wide focal range. OK, thanks. I heard the term mentioned once
and thought it meant something else. Now, what's VR?
Overall and generally speaking, how do these superzooms compare to zooms
with a lesser focal range? Do they measure up to even those standards?

I wonder if Kenny-boy has bothered to shoot with it
before recommending it. If he shot with it, I wonder
if he bothered to look at the pix.

It's small, light and decent. But not up to the quality of Nikon's
70-200VR and 28-70 AF-S or 17-55 AF-S.
Ken's an idiot, but we all know that already. But he has shot with it
(And used it in his 50mm comparison, which included test shots).

I suspect if you put the K10D's Bright Matte II screen into the D or DS,
you'll be pleasantly surprised (provided they're compatible, which I
hope for). The new screen (introduced with the DL) is very bright.
However, I'd rate the D200 finder as being better than the D's by a mild
margin. So

Of course, if you're going to do it, why settle for a measly 17-200?

It really depends on your expectations. I've been using the SMC-P FA
28-200mm on the D and Ds and it makes a fine lightweight, if not
particularly compact event lens. I wasn't happy with it on film, it was
a bit soft in the corners and edges at the long end and suffered from

Hi,
There are a couple 3rd party options comparable in functionality to
Nikon's 18-135, although probably not in par in terms of quality, and
definitely not supersonic driven:
Sigma 18-125 F3.5-5.6 DC
Sigma 18-200 F3.5-6.3 DC
Tamron 18-200 F3.5-6.3 XR Di II
I know nothing about the image
I haven't heard of anything from Pentax. I just checked the lens road
map and there doesn't seem to be anything in the near future either.+
