[LRflex] Re: lens advice

Aram,
There's an interesting 3.8-5.4/60-300 rapid focus zoom (with a macro setting too) that was made by Novoflex-Tamron. It looks very martial, a bit like a Colt .45 with a miniature bazooka on top, so it’s not exactly something you would like to take through airport security
They are usually quite reasonably priced on the second hand market - not too sure about the quality, I think it’s pretty good, but perhaps Doug Herr knows more about it. 

Cheers
Douglas

Having just returned from almost 8 weeks on the road, I think I would have liked a bit of a longer lens at times. Not so often that I want to invest a lot of money into the deal. I am looking at a 300/4ish manual focus lens that I can mate to my Canon Rebel XTi. I have been looking a bit at a Nikon 300/4.5 ED-IF and a Pentax screw mount 300/4. I see both listed in the $200-$300 dollar range. Might be do-able at this price.
I guess my requirements are pretty good optical performance, (maybe not R-quality) compactness and light weight. Any suggestions? 

Aram
