K20D, Kx
18-55WR, 50-200DAL, M50F2, M200F4 and from today 100DFA macro.
Have just started a website and intention is to cover some small local events, so far sports seem to be on offer more than anything.
Wanting to update wish list and hoping to shortcut from the 50-200DAL to a pro spec of similar range. The obvious choice is the new DA* 60-250, at F4 it should be enough for most sports (?). I believe the autofocus is quite good on this. On my wish list, for portrait and / or wedding coverage (eventually), can I still get away with this or do I then need to consider upgrading the 18-55WR to a 17-70 or 16-50DA* ?
Coming from the other side, my other thought was the 50-135DA* then a 1.7x teleconvertor for sports but have then read that the autofocus on this lens is pretty pedestrian even without the convertor.
Please help me update my wish list then fingers crossed, santa coming soon etc

Have a look at:

That is the viewfinder sorted!
....... Thank you .........................
I think the sync cap needs to be there to ensure water resistance integrity as they are electrical contacts.
Anyone ? Is it the same cap on a K7 ?

I have not come across the 24-70 but was previously considering the 17-70, will research this one also.
