For puppies, no, as I am usually on my belly or knees and elbows. I could shoot wider and crop frame in post, as long as I had a sharp photo.
For most other things, the zoom is just convenience.

My particular 18-135 is sharp at the long end, but less so below 70mm.
We live in a ranch, so most of our "at home" shooting is livestock, dogs, kids - call it "life on the farm photo journalism". In fact, you can go to our web site and see a lot of photos: havenranch.weebly.com
I would like a brighter lens(es) possibly with more charictor and dimensional rendering.
What's important to my wife, who is not a camera buff but quite talented with a camera, is a sharp lens that's accurate, and a fast auto focus.

Great focal range, but not fast enough.

The other thought is the Sigma 17-50 2.8, to get most of what I need, but I get conflicting reviews on its sharpness wide open as well.

Started looking at what focal length we are using the most. It seems the mid 20mm to around 70mm is the go to for roughly 80% of the keepers. I have a 18-135, but want to try out some better glass.
I was going to pick up a DA50 1.8 and a DA32 2.4 while they are on sale. Then I started looking at the FA43 1.9ltd. Will the 43 cover those two focal lengths or will I be always in the middle and never quite right?
The I started looking at the Sigma 24-70 2.8 SMC, the focal length is perfect, but it has mixed reviews. I also LOVE the Pentax color rendering and don't want to loose that.
What say you, wise Pentaxians?
