Originally posted by mattb123 I was thinking the 55-300 would be good for if he isn't close to the panels. It's slow, but with high enough ISO it might be good enough where the other lenses would be too short.
It's not terribly slow, up to 100mm it is f/4, which is a stop slower than the Tamron at f/2.8
And really, the Tamron is a 17-45mm, its not a true fifty from what i've tested from it and what is reads on my k-30. And it also isn't a true f/2.8, more like a f/3.2 so... Bring the 55-300, if only for the reach up to 100mm, if you need it. 45mm max might be a bit short, but then again, you could take your DA 50
