I have primes covering 20 to 200mm, fairly well spaced out. 20, 24, 28, 35, 50, 100, 135 and 200 to be exact. Most are Pentax. About the only lens I might add is a fast 85, but not right now.
I currently own an A 35-70 f4 and a Sigma APO 70-300. The Sigma is too big and bulky to consider the two a viable pair. I look at the Sigma as a zoo and sports lens, not a carry-around.
So, looking at the A 35-70 as a starter, I'm considering:
The M 24-35 f3.5 to supplement the low end, and the M 75-150 f4 to supplement the high end.
I'd have a 3 zoom kit, all constant aperature (useful because I use fully manual bodies often).
Mind you, I don't want the bulk of the fast zooms. Also, I think I can live without a 200mm top end. I'm envisioning a 3 zoom kit for casual photography here. I could always lug the Sigma along if I needed reach.
As I recall, those who own the M 75-150 seem pleased with it; I can't recall much discussion about the M 24-35.
Any caveats or problems or gotchas with the two M's I'm thinking about? Comments? Alternatives?
