go for a 300mm if you can find one to fit your budget. -- J.C. O'Connell (mailto:hifis...@gate.net) Join the CD PLAYER & DISC Discussions : http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cdplayers/ http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/cdsound/

Thinking about surprising Santa this year and stuffing my own stocking. I'd likely use the lens for youth soccer (futball), nature, and auto racing shots. I know the 2.8 would be nice (faster is ALWAYS better, right?) The Pentax lens has a bit more reach in either direction. My current lens for shooting these soccer games is the DA 50-200. I get decent shots but but they mostly need cropping. The extra 50mm would be nice and I'd be moving from 5.6 to F4 so that's better. The Pentax would have better integration with my K10 and future bodies. Do any of the 3rd party lenses work with the supersonic focus motor? The Pentax lens is more than a little bit more money though... What to do?
