I should have posted a few pictures so you have a rough idea what I'm doing with my camera and why I'm looking into that 50-500mm
My husband is mad about rock climbing and mountaineering. Whenever possible I tag along for some pictures but its not fun carrying more than 2 lens in the back pack while hanging on to the wall and changing lens for different shots resulted with a lot of dirt on my sensor.
Here's a picture taken a few weeks ago;
...don't know how to clean the sensor so I may have to send it to Pentax
I was thinking the 50-500mm would be very practical for such outdoor sports as I don't have to change lens for close up or wide angle but in the last 24hrs, I've seen quite a lot of pictures from Bigma which are quite dark. Mountain weather is often very foggy and grey even in summer months, what more in winter skiing months....but the range versatility is too tempting.
Please do share your experience about your 50-500mm Bigma. I would really appreciate it. There are so many lenses, too many choices and I depend on your feedback and experience so I don't have to open up an ebay account
@ Zeek10d;
I will spend some time and check out all your macro lens suggestions. The lighter the better for me to carry around. I also like to hunt butterflies
Cheers
