250mm and 300mm, is it a big difference? that 50mm??

It helps with wildlife photography when trying for an extra close up. Think of a 50mm zoom lens and how much it can zoom.

I have both lenses and they are both pretty good. I probably like the 50mm a bit more than the 35mm. The real question for you to answer is what will I be my primary use for the lens ? Remember, we're shooting with a crop-sensor camera, so the lenses convert from a 35mm to a 52mm, and the 50mm converts to a 75mm lens. My recommendation for General Purpose Shooting would be to go with the 50mm ! A great bang for the buck and terrific bokeh !

It appears Fuji specs the X30 for a 52mm front end. The following link is to Fuji's official site, and isn't totally clear, so may be worthwhile contacting them directly.... http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/accessories/lens/#See_All

I've been using a 50mm and it's been working great. A 40mm would be too small.

the width. Although they both offer similar of not identical results (if you know how to use manual) the 50mm is the better one when i comes to a wide angle lens. However if you have one you don't need the other.

Both as long as youre using say a 35 or a 50 mm lens. If youre using a 70-300 not so much

HI, The SR 300 will have a 6.1 MP vs the SR100 has a 3.0 MP.....I think the SR300 is going to be much much better....now I can throw away my digital camera because 6.1 MP is excellent but 3.0MP is to low. Also this is going to have the latest high tech processer and stablization system. oh, also you can take a picture while you are video recording. Frank

It will. I would recommend the 70-250mm over this as it has image stabilization. Only get the 300 if you really need the extra distance and will be using a tripod at full zoom.

there is no big diffrence just the distances a 50mm would be more closer than the 35mm but both of them are great. thats it

I owned the 300 f4 and replaced it with the 70-300 L which for me is a better alternative. The additional length makes a huge difference; I also owned the 70-200 F4, a wonderful lens but I find I no longer use since I have the 70-300L. There is NO comparison between the non-L version of 70-300 & the L version. This is a terrific lens & you will be happy with it.

One thing to consider is the wider wide-angle on the 300; 24mm vs. 28mm (equivalent). 4mm sounds trivial, but that is the difference between "sorta wide-angle" and truly wide-angle. To me, that makes the 300 worth the price difference, but your mileage may vary, as they say.

I shoot the same subjects and have been very pleased with the 18-250mm zoom. If you want a little more reach get the 55-300mm in place of the 18-250. With that choice I would then add the 18-55mm. I'm assuming you want to stay with Pentax brand. Neither zoom is "cheap" but then you get what you pay for. I chose the 18-250 because I hand hold the camera most of the time and here in the Pacific NW the light levels in the winter are pretty low. I doubt if I maxed out the 300mm (450mm equivalent) would I get a sharp image. Love the K20D by the way.

Short answer: "Yes!" I sold my 55-250 MM kit lens and bought the 70-300MM for precisely the reason you mention: to get better, closer bird images...in flight and on the feeder. I haven't been disappointed. This is a "sharper" lens than the 55-250 and the extra zoom range really comes in handy. Be aware, though, that the 70-300 MM is both larger and heavier than the other lens. At maximum zoom it is up to 8-1/2" long.

Why would someone compare a 50mm to a 35mm? Its not even the same focal length..
2066265
I use 18-55, 18-105, 35 and 50 mm without problem. I think 75-300 will work fine with this one

Yes, the length changes depending on the focusing distance. The 300mm f4 has internal focusing and also focuses closer. I found the 300 to be a much better lens overall even though the field of view is narrower. Of course it is more expensive but I love it.

50mm is referencing one of many lenses focal lengths (you could call it the zoom range). The 58mm is in reference to the thread size that you would screw your lens filters on to, such as a UV or a Circular Polarizer, etc. If I look at my 50mm 1.4 lens, at the ring around the large lens element that the filters thread on to, I see 50mm and 58mm printed. The 58mm has next to it an 'o' marking with a vertical line through it to show that it is a filter thread size. Hope this helps - happy shooting, friend ;)
