I owned an A*300 f/2.8 for a number of years and

North American continent for so long. Finally sold it
about two year
ago.
I, then, lusted after the DA*60~250 for a couple
years. Thankfully,
during my wait I came to my senses and bought the
DA*50~135. Much
more practical for my type of shooting. I'm now
glad I "waited".
What a wonderful lens it is!

I want both, but I'm a lens pig.

I have it confirmed by TeKaDe the price of the
60-250 will
be 999 euros
or perhaps even less then that.
Sometimes I wonder if the 50-135 wouldnt be a
better
choice, given an
extra stop and it is available.

Yes, on eBay, but for about $1700 or more.
I see a Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 SP Di-LD for
599
euro,
and a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG APO HSM
for 659
euro, this lens has
hypersonic drive.
Anyone that has experience with either one
of
these?
I know you are referring to the 80-200 here
for $1700,
but for that
money, i can get a D300 and drip, and use
lenses i
already have.:--)
I hear the 60-250 will sell around $1200-1300,
some
were around there.
I think that's to much, considering i can
now get
a 50-135 for less
than 1K here.

Reading the tea leaves and other

on the USA Pentax site:

There is an 80-200/2.8 on eBay right
now...

Is there any news about the
availability of this lens? I pre ordered
with TeKaDe, it was suppose to
arrive
around Christmas, de price has gone
down in the mean time, and
TeKaDe has
no idea when the lens will arrive. I
wonder if I should go for
another
lens, Tamron or Tokina, don't know who has
a nice alternative.
