Anyone using one of these and what do you think. I will be using it on a Pentax *ist DS but I expect that it will be similar on cameras with similar size sensors.

Cheers.

Sorry, I think I posted this in the wrong area.

No worries Peted, I've moved the topic. Welcome to Shuttertalk, by the way!

I've always been eyeing the XR series - looks pretty good eh? I like the small form factor. Haven't used one personally though...

Thanks.

Aaah Melbourne spent about 14 years there last century, one of my kids is living there now.



Now I just have to work out how to get one at a good price, Teds has them listed for AU$800.

Nice place isn't it (Melbourne, that is). Whereabouts are you these days?

If you're willing to buy online, you can usually get better prices at dirtcheapcameras.com.au or centre.net.au (although I couldn't find any tamron lenses on the latter).

In Canberra now, and thats a nice place too. May even look at the Sigma 135-400mm but I think it will be out of my price range and it's not a DC.

Perhaps I will just try one of the 500mm mirror lenses, they are pretty cheap.
