Hi Gordon, my thoughts would run to a Tamron 55-200/4-5.6, (very cheap but good) and a S/H Tamron 200-400/5.6, for the Mirror look out for a S/H Sigma 600/8. The 200-400 is a tad lighter than the Siggy 170-500 and is a constant 5.6 and scores about the same on the Dyxum reviews. Help the budget by ditching the 28-300 and possibly the 400/5.6.
Thanks Mike. The 80-400 sounds good,but unfortunately I dont think the Sigma or Tokina ones are available in this mount, what a b****r
I have a Tokina 80-400 in MAF mount, the earlier model, discontinued prob about the time Sony bought KM, they still come up from time to time. It's worth keeping an eye on Ffordes, Walters, Mr Cad and a few other S/H dealers. I got the Sigma 600/8 from Ffordesfor about £150, the 80-400 Tok was a bit dearer, can't remember which dealer that was from tho.
Easy to check if a lens is available in MAF/Sony, look in the lens DB on Dyxum.
