Hi all, I'm fantasizing about acquiring an "upgrade zoom" from the pentax kit lens and am currently thinking that the race is between the tamron 17-50 and the 28-75.
I tend to like the longer end of a lens more than the wider end, so I think I would not miss too much the 17-27mm. I'm happier taking portraits. With wide shots I struggle and mostly lose in attempting to frame out the messy backgrounds. Have any of you played with both of these and can you offer up any comparison between the 2? Apparently the 28-75 is about 1/2 pound heavier. Is it really a tank to lug around? Thanks for your esteemed opinionations. --------------------------- Sam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
