It's not the range up to short tele that I'm having a problem with. I don't use wide angle much, so for most of the time a camera with the 16-50 covers the close end of what I expect to be shooting. On the K-3 (or my current K-5) I think that's pretty similar to the field of view of the iPhone's telephoto lens. Even adding the 50-135 to the camera bag isn't a weight issue if I want a little more reach. The problem comes if I've got the 60-250 along, especially if I'm using that lens the majority of the time. After an hour or two I'm beginning to notice the strain on my arm muscles. (And let's not talk about using anything longer than that). That's the issue I'm comtemplating addressing by switching to 4/3. A phone camera, even one as good as the iPhone, doesn't solve that. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
