King Cardinal

i've noticed this lens comes up more reguraly as a used item which makes me suspicious as to why. Also it seems to have a mixed bag of reviews so i think i'll be giving this a miss, which is a shame as it was the lens i was most looking forward to.

I've just swapped from my Pentax K5 and 16-50 (Kept my K3 and DA*300 for birding for now) to the Fuji XT-1 because it's new AF just blew Pentax out the water. I was in the store (London Camera Exchange) and i had my hands on the Sony A7 (FF 24mp) and the Fuji. Fuji Won because it has excellent lenses at affordable prices and i love the traditional film like quality that Fuji gives. Unless your Pixel Peeking at the extreme end you do not need more, you need excellent noise control, speed, and that new kick ass AF. but for me finally it was the systems weight i can do more with smaller and lighter gear than with a FF and the associated lens weight that more Pixels and bigger sensors need. And i always want better economy, go further and do more than rush around and miss even more.
