I think Pentax doesn't get enough credit for the lens system built around the aps-c sensor size. Taken as a whole it's a very nice, rational offering. Extremely functional, small and lightweight compared to lenses designed for FF.
On the projects where I use the FF Nikon, I really feel it in my back and shoulders. The 70-200mm zoom is a workhorse, but it weighs a ton. The lens alone weighs more than a K5 body with the 50-135mm lens. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 1:05 PM, Paul Stenquist <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Aug 22, 2013, at 1:05 PM, Bruce Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Uh-oh.
