OK, I should have said DSLR ultimate quality. It's different. I don't think your average first-time buyer of an SLR would even know what a medium-format camera was.

Then they wouldn't know what a full frame was either

I don't know how good they are as I don't own either but you have the reach with your 50-200 and your 55-300. what's wrong with them??????????
CHEERS Vic.

Apertures are to slow for football need a 2.8 lens to get high shutter speeds. Would it be worth getting the af on the 50-135 upgraded by JPS? This makes a difference to focussing speed apparently.

Love the tones on these, they have a retro 70s type feel, agree with mike about the third.

cabstar what would the 50 - 135 be like for motorsport?

Ive never shot motorsport so honestly couldnt tell you.

The tamron 17-50 whilst good is not good enough for weddings, the focus is noisey and slow for inside churches. I would be concerned with using a 24-70 particulalry inside registry offices which can be notoriously small.

The 50-135 is a great portrait lens, particularly for model shoots.

As for motorsports i am not sure how far away you will be so would suggest a 300mm f/4.

If you are going to invest this amount in lenses i would seriously wait until the next body anouncement just in case full frame gets anounced

Ventured out with the k-01 and attached the 16-50mm to it for the first time, the weight of the 16-50 unbalanced the k-01 but was still useable. Af speed was really fast.
