Which one would you recommend to telephoto and nature shooting
Sigma 70-200 2.8 with 2x sigma teleconverter, or sigma "bigma" 50-500?
I know, I should buy 300/2.8 prime with teleconverter but I find it too clumsy + too expensive + I'm not so hardcore photographer.
have been using pentax DA L 55-300 with quite good success so far, but would like to have more reach.
500mm prime would be good but then the lens use is limited only for supertele + might be to heavy to carry.
Sigma 50-500 would sound like a good choise espec with K5 where you can stretch the iso probably to 3200 or 6400.
I read somewhere that pentax might have new telelens coming? We're travelling to Africa in July and for that trip supertele might be useful...
on paper sigma 300-800 would be perfect, but in practice is way too expensive + too large lens to carry.
Is there good recommendations? 70-200 with teleconverter would give me better ability to shoot in the dark if necessary, but then, reach is not that higher what it is compared to 55-300.
If I had the money would probably buy sigma 300mm 2.8 prime with 1.4x teleconverter, but it is quite pricey..
thanks for your comments!
