Hello all you big glass experts,
what do you think would be a fair price for such a lens?
I've seen the SMC-A version for 1.800 EUR and the newer SMC-FA for about 2.700 EUR.
I'd also take a Sigma or Tokina, but I'm not sure if these were ever done for Pentax. AF preferred.
I've done some terrific shots with my F*300 f/4.5 this year- but these shots were only possible with ISO 400 or ISO 800 film.
If I could have used the f/2.8 and ISO 100 film, well...
Another question is: Can shots be done handheld with the f/2.8 ? Any chance? I'm always trying to go for the 1/4000s (fast moving objects) or even faster, but the weight could be an issue, what do you think?
I'd love to check out such a lens, but I've never seen one "live". Or I should wait for digital, where ISO is not an issue...
Thanks in advance for your appreciated advise,
Thomas
