Hello!
So this is my first post on this forum. I fully understand that I've seen this topic talked about several times, however, I never see a clear answer (or at least not an answer that would solve my problem ... or that I understand ... haha).
I am currently using the Pentax K-r. I am looking for a lens for taking pictures of wolves. Right now, I am only taking photos of those in captivity, however they are all exceptionally afraid of people (a good thing) so I need something that can help me take clear, crisp shots from a decent distance. Plus something that auto focuses alright ... this lens I'm using now seems to be really loud and auto focuses so oddly. The wolves are not good models and do not sit still ... so being able to focus quickly is a must.
Plus, in about a year I am heading down to Zimbabwe to intern on the African Painted Dog conservation. Obviously I won't be that close to those guys.
I've been using this lens [smc PENTAX-DA55-300mmF4-5.8ED] for a while now, but it is actually my mother's. I've been borrowing it for a bit, but when I move here in a month to a different state she is going to want it back. (Bummer for me). So I guess I should invest in my own lens and I'm looking to upgrade.
I am a college student, I am a little broke, but open to any suggestions.
Thanks!
Ashley
