i've been trying to zoom out when i begin to track a flying bird at any distance and then zoom in on it as i try to capture it, other wise you'll never find it.

Pentax DA 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 ED

$475.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i'm still a novice photographer but i wanted a lens that could offer close-up and distance mobility and this one fills the bill.

from www.amazon.com
this lens although a bit slow is very sharp and ideal for broad vistas to tight distance shooting.
