I am thinking about upgrading the long zoom I keep for my travel kit. I currently use a Sears 80-200/4 Macro. The 2 best options seem to be the SMC-A and S1. I'd be interested to hear what anyone with experience with both of these lenses has to say. Or if anyone has a suggestion on another lens they like in this class.
Too be honest I have no huge complaints with the Sears. It's sharpness and flare resistance are decent, although it does lack contrast. Where would I notice improvements? This lens would be used on MF bodies for outdoor street/nature photography and occasional sports events. I am not concerned with any macro or portait abilities as I have that covered with other lenses. -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Email.com http://www.email.com/?sr=signup Win the Ultimate Hawaiian Experience from Travelocity. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4018363;6991039;n?http://svc.travelocity.com/promos/winhawaii/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
