The DA*50-135 is such a wonderful lens. I miss using it with the K-1. The 70200 is wonderful but it is so much heavier.

That lens works pretty well close up. Nice shooting.

It's actually become my walk around lens. I try and avoid shooting at 300 even though I have some excellent images at the focal length, lens charts and all that.

The 50 -135 alone is enough reason for me to keep my K3. I have a Tamron 70-200 which is smaller that the DFA*70-200. However the Tamron is still twice the size of the 50-135.

Yes that is more reason to miss the 50-135.

Yeah, she’s doing well. Should be a fast recovery.

That's a great shot, Michael!

Thanks Albert. I have been practicing photographing white birds in the direct sunlight. The exposures are very tricky. Hopefully I can back out to where the Egrets are soon.

Da*60-250 again, this lens is one my favourites. The first and last ones are F4, the middle one is F5. It is so nice to have a lens you can shoot wide open and never worry.
