Originally posted by Na Horuk Hm, some people say the 55-300mm is better than the 50-200mm (others say they are practically the same). You can try adding a polarizing filter to change the contrasts a little. But those photos you posted are basically the best you can get from that lens without using flashes and post processing a lot. Those photos are pretty great, the focus seems to be right on
Thing is, with tele lenses the kit lenses are the best bang for buck. Anything significantly better will cost a lot more. You can try looking into Sigma lenses. Did you check out the lens review section on this forum? They also have sample photos, so you can search for tele primes
Hi! Thanks for suggestions.
Question: If I want to keep myself in budget line and use this lens :S-M-C/Super Takumar 200mm F4, would it give me better shots? I am getting this lens for $60 from someone. If not then what are alternative lens. Please name them may be I can make up mind to afford them.
Also, those shots were taken hand held and I've very very shaky hands (I am not old but may be I don't have control on that), that is one of main reason I chose Pentax because of shake reduction technology built in body. I am sure if I take pics using mono-pod or tripod it would be bit better, but I don't own one at this point of time.
