First suggestion: Find an FA*300/2.8 somewhere! They're still out there on the second-hand market. I'm very happy with my Sigma EX 300/2.8 APO and the latest version is supposedly "optimized for digital" (though I've always been a bit skeptical of that designation). And I've heard that Sigma's 120-300 f/2.8 zoom is *really* good. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
