Hiya everyone, how refreshing to find a friendly forum on the net. I have been searching for some time now to get advice on this and that and at last I stumbled across TP. I have been looking for reviews or tips on what lens to get for my Pentax K10D. I currently only have a 18-55mm and thats fine for people/groups or scenic pics but I love to shoot wildlife and of course the 18-55 just doesn't get me close enough. I won my Pentax in a photo comp using my Lumix. My Lumix has up to a 12x optical & 48x digital zoom built in. Of course I was spoilt with the Lumix lens, the quality was never that good zoomed right in on the Kestrels hovering above me but at least I could zoom in. So I now search for a lens that can get me in close with the wildlife but won't break the bank. Any ideas guys? I do hope this post is not to overwhelming for a newby?
