You can try the 55-250... there's a 70-210 f3.5 on FM board for a good price. I'm leaning toward primes and can pick up the 135 after selling the sigma but with money left over I could pick up one of these for cheap to maintain some zoom which would be mainly for outdoor zoo type stuff A7rIII | A7III | 12-24 F4 | 16-35 GM | 28-75 2.8 | 100-400 GM | 12mm 2.8 Fisheye | 35mm 2.8 | 85mm 1.8 | 35A | 85A | 200mm L F2 IS | MC-11

Didn't know if anyone had any experience with one. Heck you can pick one up for 120 bucks, might do it just to try it out.

Having owned the 135L myself, I can tell you that you probably won't have any desire to put a lens like the 70-210 on there after you shoot with the 135L.

MikeDeep Goldmember  More info | Aug 28, 2012 19:29 | #11 The 70-210 f4 is really nothing to bother with if you have another lens in that range. Push/pull zoom, AFD motor, mediocre image quality. mikedeep.com
