If I'm not trying to get the whole room, the ideal zoom range for
photographing people during a test or a demo, at the dojo would
probably be 28-105. Lately I've been using the 16-50 on one body and
the 77 on another, and that's workable. With the K-5, in the evening
off the incandescent bulbs, I can get acceptable shutter speed and
noise at f/2.8. I suppose that in four years, for the cost of a 28-70
I'd be able to get an f/4 lens and a body that'll give me equivalent
IQ at f/4 as the K-5 gives me at f/2.8. If you'll excuse my obsession
with higher ISO and lower noise.
Oh well, maybe the next time I get a big chunk of cash, I'll redirect
some of it towards a Tamron 18-75/2.8.
Given that you have a DA* 16-50, that's not an efficient solution. Put
your chunk of cash toward a DA* 50-135. It's an orgasm on a K-mount.
