I found the MkI pretty good and I believe the MkII is even better.
I expect the 50-200 to be heavier, so might keep the 100-300 and buy the 50-200 too.I found the MkI pretty good and I believe the MkII is even better.
In terms of absolute resolution the 50-200 might be better, but considering expected price and weight of the 50-200 I would be surprised if the 100-300 isn't the real bargain here.
No need to feel sorry.
That said, if the 50-200 is as good as the 200 I might jump ...
Kind regards.
And you might be quite pleased both with the 100-300
Sooo ... you’re a gear head after all then
But is he a fence sitter Bart? and if so, do you think he uses a pillow or a saddle (or rides bareback).Sooo ... you’re a gear head after all then
I hope that it's a bit smaller, but suspect that the weight might be more or less the same. That makes it a bit on the heavy side for some of my travels, where the lightweight 100-300 is ideal.
Jørgen a fence sitter ? Reading this thread’s title I’d say “yes”, but I’d like to think of him as a tuk-tuk man so a pillow seems more appropriate ... :angel:
I don't mind being the tuk-tuk man, and as for pillows...
What is the issue? Sure this new PL 50-200 will be a great lens and more so a great focal range - it is a 100-400 FF equivalent but much faster than all it's FF equivalents. And 100-400 is just the most appropriate zoom range for a number of application like wildlife, sports, etc. And sure it will work with the TC although performance will degrade or operability will degrade as with all TC's.
No issue other than the fact that I'm picking up a 100-300mm tomorrow because I need it this week. I'm quite certain that the 50-200 will be a better lens. No big disaster. If it's good, I can sell the 100-300 and the 35-100 and replace both with this new lens.
Another idea would be to rent the 100-300. Maybe cheaper than buying and selling .....
No camera or lens rental in Thailand I'm afraid, at least not at this level.Another idea would be to rent the 100-300. Maybe cheaper than buying and selling .....
Actually I find the idea to just have the 50-200 instead the 35-100 AND the 100-300 very compelling
Sorry to hear! Then buy the 100-300 and sell it with the 35-100 for the 50-200 as soon as it becomes available ...
That's the plan now, at least if the 50-200 lives up to the expectations, and unless I like the 100-300 so much that I would rather keep it.
I hear you - am on the fence as well
Not next week, this week, right? :facesmack:
