They're all great but you must have a strange lens for number 5. f 0.0.
Now thats what I call a LARGE APATURE. CHEERS Vic.
Yes strange indeed, it's an old Pentax 135mm f 2.5, and the K5 doesn't record any info re aperture, I forgot to change the aperture info when I copied and pasted the exif info. I have been using it at f2.5 to f5.6 mostly.They're all great but you must have a strange lens for number 5. f 0.0.

Thanks for the comments , it is a hard lens to use for me, as my eyesight isn't good enough to be sure of focus. But in this one I was able to focus on the spot she was sitting, check with the lcd, and then wait for her to do something!

It works for me, I like the colours and composition and abstract feel.

8-16 Sigma
18-55 kit
28 2.8AL
55 1.4
90 Tamron macro
135 2.5 Ashai Pentax
All on a K5
I still haven't scratched the longer lens itch. I want something for indoor school assembly shots, and thought the 135 would be okay, but focus is hard with my eyesight in low light. Also something for wildlife and outdoor action.
So would a Tamron 70-200 2.8 macro and the DA 55-300 be a good and reasonable combination, or would the Pentax 50-135 and 55-300 be better?
Funds aren't limitless and happy to buy secondhand or wait for one or other.
