Hi, my name is Edwin, I'm a beginner photography enthusiast. I bought a Pentax K-X and so far I'm really happy with it.
A visit to the zoo the other day made me realize the SMC Pentax DA L 18-55 mm that comes with the camera really didn't help to get close to the animals as I wanted, so I decided to explore a little bit and get a Macro lens, but (and I guess this is a very frequent "but" in these kind of threads lol) since I'm not a professional, I don't have the luxury right now to spend a lot on it, sadly. So I've been checking these options, I'd really like some advice. The highest my budget can go is about $90-100 and I already found these on ebay and they are withing range:
SMC Pentax-DA L 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED Reviews - DA L Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
Takumar-F 70-200mm F4-5.6 Reviews - Non-SMC Pentax Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 AF Di LD Macro Lens Reviews - Tamron Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database
Quantaray 70-300mm F4-5.6 LD Macro 1:2 Lens Reviews - Quantaray Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database
SMC Pentax-F 80-200mm F4.7-5.6 Reviews - F Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
These I couldn't find the exact model on the pentaxforums:
Tamron AF 80 210mm F4 5 5 6d Zoom Lens ? Model 278D ? Pentax A DSLR | eBay
Gorgeous Clean Sigma AF 28 200mm F3 8 5 6 Zoom Lens Pentax UV Hood Caps | eBay
I would appreciate any help!! Thanks in advance
P.S. Oh, and if you have a better option within that price range feel free to recommend!
