Ditto. I will probably sell my DA 50-200 and DA 16-45 when the new lenses are introduced. But in the meantime, they serve quite well in the manner you describe. I sometimes supplement them with a good midrange prime like the FA 35/2 or FA 50/1.5, but at 6 megapixel resolution, all of the lenses generally outperform the camera. The primes are taken more for their low-light capability than their resolution. I'm anxious to see how the K10D changes this equation. paul Paul On Oct 13, 2006, at 9:44 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
