No not at all Carl let me clarify what Im asking is what lens would members recomend to get the shots I missed with the 70/300 not being able to cover the range needed. Lets not get boged down in technical jargon.

I took these photos with the Tamron 70/300 lens on the Kr recently. Over the course of the day I found the lens falling short of the focal length to get some shots that would have been nice. Considering this and the ability for a new lens to deliver a good IQ can I ask what members choices would for a puurchase of a new lens in this situation. I have to say though in my estimation the Tamron does not do a bad job some may differ in opinion.

These look great the cols are realy punchy and the detail very good are they all took with the same lens ?.

Cracking set of photos the lens looks to work very well on the Kr. I would love a quality zoom like this but just cant justify the expence at the moment.

Why not consider a mf lens I would imagine you could pick both a 50 1.7 and a 35mm lens for less than £80.

Well I have tried on the camera a few lenses now and as far as I can see they all seem to work well at this point in time. Since the calaberation my camera is producing much better photos.
