Thank you all for the responses. Was wondering if I should go for it inspite of having the SMC F 70-210mm. Does anyone have both to offer a suggestion?
Thanks

I don't own the lens but I will share with you what I think (FWIW):
- If you want something longer than 200 and is on a budget, I will have a look at Sigma/Tamron 70-300 as both lenses get good reviews on this forum. If you are not on a budget, then have a look at Sigma 100-300/4 and Sigma 135-400/4.5-5.6
- If you want to cover the range between wideange to 70mm, then have a look at Sigma 17-70, Tamron 28-75/2.8 and Pentax DA 18-55.
I guess what I am trying to say is that you probably will get better IQ with F70-210 than with the 28-300 zoom. And 28mm on digital isn't really that wide anyway, so if I was to look for a superzoom lens, I would probably get either Sigma 18-200 or 18-125.
hope that helps.
