Originally posted by wanderer2 Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't used an adapter since my long ago film days when they didn't render IQ anywhere near a good zoom or prime lens. Have they improved to the point that a new Tamron 70-200 f2.8 plus adapter IQ would approximate that of the lenses discussed above?
Zoom plus adapter won't equal a good prime...... especially the better Pentax 300's... personally I'd wait a few months till I could afford a F*300/4.5...... or DA*300/4 (in that order)
