Originally posted by MSL Understood. I've enjoyed using the K200 because I haven't shot much telephoto, and the 35-135 surprised me by how good it is. But the DA21 was fun from the moment I started using it, and in many ways a lot easier to use and get usable images than the other two lenses.
The 35-135 has a great reputation, I'd like to play with it one day.
The 21 is a fantastic lens, partly because it delivers great pictures, but also partly because it is easy to master. Contrary to some other lenses, which you have to "earn", the 21 immediately brings out the best in your pictures.
