We bought a waterfront cottage last year and all of a sudden I'm interested in wildlife & maritime photography. My biggest lens is an old old OLD Tamron 70-210 and its contacts are problematic, the camera can only see it half the time. This would see very limited use, probably just the cottage, so I was thinking maybe a used big old fixed-focal-length telephoto like my Dad used to use 30 years ago. I went poking around on EBay and sure enough, there are big old lenses for sale there regularly.
For my K20, are there any classics that I should particularly lean toward or turkeys to stay away from? I'm assuming nearly anything will fit, e.g. the "SMC Pentax 500mm F4.5 4.5/500 Telephoto" with the bidding currently at around $700 Canadian. Any good online references to consult? -Tim -- 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.
