Originally posted by deejjjaaaa actually for a journalist something like Pana 14-140 will be much more versatile than all 3 FA limited plus the rest of DA limiteds and FA* combined... they are not exactly after creative effects.
Sorry, my two statements seemed to indicate a journalist would be using an FA Limited lens -- of course not! A journalist would not be using Pentax at all, in all likelihood.
But if they did I would guess the DA* zooms would be the most common choice.
In any case many journalists have jumped on the chance to send video back with their stills for the evening news. It saves the broadcaster an extra person in the field.
