One advantage of an 80-200/2.8 is that you can use it with a 1.4xTC to get extra reach (even more than the 60-250) at f/4. That being said, though, I've been considering getting a 60-250 myself, because it's more convenient not to have to use a TC. But for now I'll have to carry on making do with the 80-200. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
