@Rondec: Thanks! I always liked this lens but never considered it to be the ONE I'd grab, mostly because of its size, but it's definitely manageable, especially without the hood. I've never seen the Sigma, but I think the DA* 50-135 is the max I'd like to carry on a regular basis.
@Driline: What a beautiful lily! I also tried my hand at this flower yesterday, but you had considerably more success
@Tom G: It's nice to know I'm remembered! I'm finally finding the time to get out again and put my lenses to work. The K30 is partly responsible too
@Dave: I'll be the first to admit that I've been a little overwhelmed with subject matter in New York. I almost always take my 12-24 with me when I go out, but more and more I'm enjoying those tighter shots myself. I'm still going to take the 12-24 though, just in case!
Originally posted by blackcloudbrew There is a lot to love with the DA*50-135. I love the range of lengths with it and while primes are nice, this one delivers.
However, I shudder to think about possible mistakes I could make with a combined diaper/camera bag...
Ha! I like to think that the diapers provide free cushioning. Now if only the diaper wipes could double as lens wipes
