I currently have a DA 50-200mm bit finding the reach and sharpness is not producing nice images, it is also a bit slow.
Looking for recommendations on a replacement lens f/2.8 at all focal lengths would be good, also need to be able to zoom in an out so fixed prime would not do the job.
Reason is to take images of wild life in particular birds at local salt marsh and surrounding coastal areas, getting up close enough with 50-200mm is not proving a good option.
Thanks in advance.
Gary.
Gary this new Sigma has my attention at the moment. Not seen any reviews on it yet but would be surprised if its not up too scratch :

I use the same shampoo here in Oz .
My only concern with it is it tranluscent enough. : : The bottle i have you can't see through it. What camera and flash adjustments are you having too make to get the best results out of it :

On thing that bothers me is that you can't turn long exposure noise off on the K20d, taking continuous long exposures is something I require, when shooting star trails for example. Will this be addressed? Are Pentax covering their backs with noise issues?

Just back from my long weekend on Vlieland. It was dry most of the time, though windy - but then it is March, and Vlieland is a patch of sand facing the North Sea.
Sadly no photos for you of this lovely island.
I fell and dislocated my elbow just after getting there on Friday, so have had my arm in a sling all weekend which rather drastically restricted photo ops.
Had the elbow put back in place by the local GP/vet, with the aid of the ambulance men and medicine designed to knock out a horse I think .
Anyway I am now going to catch up with the forum and all your photos.
Look on the bright side, you could have had your new K20 in hand at the time Double ouch.

Have a look at the Sigma 135-400 or 50-500 APO zooms. It's not 1:2.8, but then you won't need a mortgage to buy it either. Where lenses are concerned, long + fast = astronomically expensive + very heavy.
