As far as I know this is where they fall short (pun intended) except for a 80-200 f2.8 that sells for $1370 all of their lens beyond 200mm are inexpensive, consumer ones. The third party manufacturers have them covered fairly well though in the longer focal lengths. i don't know of many Pentax users who buy into the system to use long, wildlife type lenses. My favorite range is from 28-135 and they are very well covered there. I also use my 100mm macro and 50mm1.7 a lot. Now that I have the digital body I am exploring other length lenses to get. I have a 75-205 f3.5 but it is too heavy for me to hand hold well so I haven't tried it on the DS yet.
