Since I did not manage to get a KL 2.5/200mm yesterday (grrr....), in spite of the efforts of a very helpful PDML menmber, I decided to borrow a Sigma EX 2.8/70-200mm APO. Just like the one Jostein is using.
According to www.photodo.com the Sigma is even better than the original - the SMC FA 2.8/80-200mm. Aledgedly the best 70-200mm available for Pentax??? I doubt this is the truth, since the Sigma (here) costs only 1/3 of the original Pentax lens. The high cost may be caused by very low sales figures. Sigma has this lens listed at the same price as the HSM-versions for C and N. The higher cost (no HSM) for the Pentax mount version should make up for the presumably lower sales figures :-) ?? I don't realy know if I'm ready to blow 1500 USD on this baby. Of course I could get it from Germany for appr. 1000 USD (845 Euro). It's good, but not THAT good, is it? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/46083404/ Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
