A little while back, when I went to pick up the battery grip for my K10D, I had questioned an employee of the camera shop about a good, fast lens for my camera. I don't remember the model that he mentioned, but he said that he could order a nice tele by Sigma (I believe he said it was) for $919.00. Now, I don't remember that lens' focal numbers, but I DO remember him saying that it carried a
straight f2/8 across its
entire focal travel. Is that possible? Or did he give me (as I suspect) very erroneous information? I have not revisited his store, on further discussion of this matter, because (quite frankly) I just don't care for the attitude of the owner.
But what lens might I best outfit my K10D with? I have just the one lens, right now, which is the Tamron 18-200mm, and - to
my way of seeing it - that lens is not bad at all. My wife has given me the go-ahead to spend up to $1000 on another lens, and I need to know which would be the
fastest lens I could get for my camera. I don't really want to get into a
'fixed' lens design, right now, because of trying to defeat too much 'lens swapping'.
Maybe something to compliment my Tamron tele, but it has to be rather fast (the fastest that I can get, for no more than $1000) to enable great low-light shooting. If I have asked a similar question before, please forgive. I am kind'a in a hurry, right now, and just don't have the time to search through my previous posts. Besides, I am VERY anxious to hear replies on this
