So what is everyone’s opinions on the weight/size for carrying this around? When I go out, I’m usually equipped with my P100-300ii, as most of the interesting things I come across are farther away—it’s actually the default lens on my camera when I put it up. The PL50-200 is also very tempting, since it starts at 50 and is not much bigger than the P100-300ii that I cart around now. More range could be had with the teleconverter, but that’s even more money and it comes at a performance price.
The PL100-400 seems more widely available used than the PL50-200, so it would be the cheaper option—I just don’t know if I could be happy with the extra size weight? Any thoughts much appreciated.
