Looking for advice on optimal use of overlapping zooms
Re: Looking for advice on optimal use of overlapping zooms
Your situation of looking to improve your lenses without increasing your costs is a familiar one and also quite restrictive.
Perhaps the Pentax DA 55-300mm is worth a look? It has a lower zoom factor which almost invariably increases image quality and minimises lens issues. The 16-45mm is excellent and the only upgrade path from there involves spending more $.
If you really want a leap in IQ then perhaps replace the Tamron with a used DA* 50-135 and converter. The incredible IQ of the DA* 50-135mm will make up for the fact that it's short of 300mm.
