I'm still loving my K10d, and with a trip to Europe about a month or so away, I'm thinking of adding a zoom lens to the bag for the trip.
I'm seeking input on what to consider in the up to 300mm range. (70 - 300, etc.).
Ideally, I'd like to keep the price around or under $300 - but the usual concern about overall image quality needs to be mentioned.
I know this lens will inherently be a compromise, but really, shouldn't I still be able to have decent outdoor shots?
So, my local shop mentioned a Sigma zoomer (topped at 300mm) and it had a Macro setting (nice feature I'd use). Can't recall the model, though.
So, let's hear your thoughts on a decent zoomer for my trip please.
Open to non-Pentax branded lenses, too.
So, the deets again:
- K10d
- up to about 300mm
- $300-ish dollars (US/Can.)
- Not brand snobish.
Thanks gang.
