Hi guys, as I recently upgraded to the K3iii after many, many years, I wondered why my tele lens was still the one I bought off Ebay as a student almost 15 years ago (the Tamron 70-300). So I think it's time for an upgrade
Obviously the new 150-450 would be nice but it hurts budget wise
Looking at 300mm primes, there is the obvious candidate, the new SMC 300mm F4 DA SDM. However, a vintage lens, the F*300mm F4.5, seems to be getting rave reviews on the Forum and some of the sample images are nothing short of spectacular. As they are roughly the same price, give or take $100, I wonder whether I should go with the old version (if I can get my hands on a clean one, only driven once by an old lady) or the new one?
