Glad to hear about the weight - it was one concern that I had, seems like a lot to lug around while traveling etc. For a general purpose zoom in situations where I don't want to carry a second lens I prefer the extra reach that the 28-105 gives. Mark On 2/23/2017 5:48 PM, Henk Terhell wrote:

Mark, good choice. I got mine with the 28-105 a week ago and am still very much in the learning curve. I was a bit worried about the size and weight of the K-1 when walking around, but so far this is acceptable. Now I'm trying my old prime lenses, but the 28-205 is also fine. Henk Op
