You know what would be really really really nice a pentax 135-400
f/4.5 it would make a great pair with the upcoming 50-135 f/2.8...
the 60-250 is a bit of a compromise ...had it been a 120-300 or maybe
350 it would be a much better fit in Pentax' lens line. a 120-300
f/2.8 would be lovely
Do you know how heavy a DFA 120-300 f2.8 would be? I'd end up never
taking it with me.
I'd be really happy with a sharp 250mm f4 on a K10D.

Yes it would be like carting a howitzer around but damn useful i used
the sigma 120-300 on a n...n D200 and its a nice combo and very nice
zoom range for shooting sports with 1.5x focal length crop.
I'm willing to pay the weight penalty for the functionality. I like
compact gear but i;m not one
There must be a whole lot more people shooting birds and cats at a
distance than I do, or who have incredibly stable hands. I find even
using 135-200mm takes a lot of concentration and effort to hold still
enough, even with SR, to satisfy my desire for sharpness, and I'm
usually backing
I use a gadget similar to the Novoflex forked joint on a tripod.
See here http://www.novoflex.com/english/html/products.htm i mount it
a rotating plate. The nice thing about this approach is that you
do'nt need a tripod collar on the lens and you simply lift the lens
off to shoot handheld.

Since my normal at the track kit contains the Pentax 16-45/4,
50-200/?, 200/2.8 and 300/4.5, plus a Sigma 400/5.6, a monopod, and
other stuff, I doubt that a DFA 120-300 would bother me much. ;-)

Thanks,

Don't you believe it. Note that this was a 120-300/f2.8, not f/4.
It would probably weigh about as much as all the lenses you list.
Well, since it would displace the 200/2.8 and 300/4.5, and get me to
f/2.8 for focal lengths I don't currently have it, I'd probably put up

Not that I know of.
I would love to see a new high quality 1.4x converter too,
would be real nice if

Neither, was my intent, but USM (ultra-sonic). I'm in yet another

I'm braced for the 60~250 USM price, which I'm afraid, will be scary.
That may make your decision easy. 8-0
I believe I read awhile back that the intended availability date of
three USM lenses was this March.(?)

I have the Sigma 100-300/4 and the Sigma 1.4X EX combination. It is
quite good. The lens is very nice and works well with the converter.
This entire gallery was shot with that combination:

I have used the Kenko 1.5 SHX and the Tamron
Quite good is right. Nice resolution in all cases.
Thanks, Bruce, for the input.

Thanks for the info... I was hoping that someone would trash at least
one of the combos making my decision easier :-) The problem with
Malta is that you have to buy almost on faith... There is no way i'm
going to be able to try out a 70-200 f/2.8 or a 100-300.. unless I go
abroad.

Hi Patrick,
I've been watching this thread with interest as I'm looking for a good
200mm+ zoom. I've always thought the 70-200 f2.8 was too heavy and not
quite long enough. I've seen some really nice pictures from the Sigma
100-300, but I've seen some with very annoying bokeh too that have
24 matches
