    300mm lens for birds ?

    Hi, I am thinking of buying a lens for my wife's digital SLR (*istD Pentax) so that I can use it to take bird photos. From my limited enquiries so far it seems difficult to find a high power telephoto lens for a reasonable price for a Pentax camera. I am looking at Tamron and Sigma - there...
