I'm in the market for a new lens and looking for sage advice from the list.
I'm currently using a K100D with the following zoom's...
FA 70-200 4-5.6
FA 100-300 4.5-5.6
I find that the longer 100-300 is a little heavy so I tend to lean to
the smaller 70-200. My problem is that the shorter lens decided to go
belly up with some internal mechanism problems and I fear it's beyond
repair (or can be repaired, but not sure it would be worth it).
I shoot the kids playing sports. They're still young so I can get
pretty close to the action. I've attempted birding, but find even the
300 to be a little short (another day will bring a discussion on
converters).
I'm looking at replacing the broken lens (or both) with either the DA
50-200 4-5.6 or the DA 55-300 4-5.8. Does anyone have real world
experience with these two lenses? I'm leaning to the shorter 50-200
due to cost and equivalent replacement.
Thanks!
