I have decided I need a lens with a bit more reach than my 18-135mm (which I see has been under attack in other forums).. I like mine, thank you.
There are a number of choices but not sure which route to go.. The DA* are quite pricey but I am only looking to buy one telephoto to compliment the 18-135 which I find makes a good walkaround single lens on my K5.
I somewhat prefer zooms for their versatility because I can not always zoom with my feet and a fixed focal length may be limiting under certain situations... but I am open to all arguments regarding this and wish to hear from personal experience regarding the Pentax tele/zooms.
Question 1: Which fixed focal length tele is the best?.. and why
Question 2: Which tele-zoom is the best?... and why
Sample photos would be welcome... the good the bad and the ugly.
Thanks in advance for the input..
