Still trying to decide what to use for my single lens for June. I'll be in Dallas, TX May 30-June 3, but I'm taking multiple camera bodies so that's not a huge problem - I can leave the single lens on one body and swap out lenses on the other.
Normally I alternate primes and zooms, so this would be a "zoom" month. I do have a Tamron 18-200 that I've not used much (traded for it a couple of months ago) - maybe that's a good choice? The IQ on it is solid, but not outstanding - but it does handle well.
I also got lucky on Craigslist last month; someone was giving away a Pentax-F 70-210 and F 35-135, and they're in pretty good condition. Maybe the 35-135? It does have macro, although it's awkward to invoke.
Oh, and if I want to stay with primes, there's the basically brand new Montgomery Ward 28mm/f2.8, M42 mount, that I was looking at way back in April. IQ seems just average, based on the limited testing I've done with it, but that could be a challenge in and of itself.
Thoughts appreciated.
