Originally posted by jjeling Ok, Im in the market for a new lens...maybe two.. and this is what I'm looking at, a 10-17mm fisheye, DA* 60-250mm, or DA *16-50mm? As a little information as to what lenses I already have and older Pentax 1.8 50mm, Sigma 10-20, Pentax kit 18-55 and 50-200, Sigma f2.8 105 macro, Pentax f4 300, and Sigma 150-500 in the bag. Half the time now I struggle to figure out what I feel like shooting with, but the lenses in that 18-250 range really seem pathetic after using DA* glass. I thought I would get some opinions from people on here that may have some experience with these ranges. Oh yeah, they will be mounted to a k7 and a k5 as well. Thanks for the input.
I suppose the first question is what you intend to do with your images. Viewing on a monitor? Sharing on the Web? Large prints?
Other questions: What is your skill level? Do you use a tripod? In other words, are you getting the most out of what you already own?
Before blowing a bunch of money on lenses, it's wise to make sure it will do you some good.
