I'll probably do that. I have to say that just playing around the new DA*16-50 I already see a difference... DA*16-50 + K5d = combo so sharp you can almost shave with it!
Originally posted by GaryH Good decision. I think you will really like the 16-50. It is rather large but a good copy (which a new one should be) will give great results. I am interested in knowing how you like the 60-250 also.
You are right! The 16-50 is scary sharp! Size wise it's not really much larger than the Tammy. I have not had time to play around with either of my new DA*'s as I just got my K5d back monday but with the limited messing around I've done with my 60-250 I like what I see up to now.
Originally posted by twitch If you're not really an ultra wide person, the 10-17 is a big leap.
Honestly I am not very interested in an ultra-wide lens, the reason I am looking at the 10-17 is for it's fish-eye fun quirky effect.
