Hi Andy
Glad you could stop by. I hope you didn't mind me borowing your thread idea. It's always nice to talk to people with same gear as you to pick up ideas etc.
I know what you mean though, sometimes i feel like i'm drownin in cannon and Nikon peeps though i cannot deny they are cracking pieces of kit. It's nice to be different though.
I just bought my first DSLR was undecided between D60 and GX10
Eventually chose the GX10 with 2 lenses ^_^ its going ok so far ^_^
I've been drooling over the 50-135 F2.8 myself, I've not heard of the 60-250mm mike.
Hi, another newbie here with a Pentax K100D.
My FIL gave it to us when he upgraded to a K10D. I am now lusting after a K20D. Next on my list is the Pentax 50mm F1.4 P-FA SMC Lens though.
I am after a I'm after a SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 Fast Prime (KA Mount) Manual Focus Automatic Aperture Lens. Anyone got one they are considering selling?
Like Stopher I am thinking about getting the 16-45 f4 kit lens. How are you finding yours Stopher? Does anyone else have this lens? Is it worth the extra £100 to the 18-55?
Thanks.
Odysseus, I started out with a Sigma STG 500 which was good but soon revealed the reasons why it was cheap, no high speed sync, poor manual configuration. It's the kind of thing that you don't really think about when getting into the world of flash. I sold mine and bought a Pentax 540FGZ and it was really worth the money, it does pretty much everything I have needed to do so far.
Lynne H, I looked at the 16-45 Kit lens and decided on the Sigma 24-60 f2.8 instead which is a cracking lens imho. I did realise a few months later though it wasn't quite wide enough for some landscape shots which I wanted to do, so i ended up with a Sigma 10-20, not the cheapest option but again it's a fantastic lens.
Hi all, havn't checked here in a while we seem to be a growing group.
On the off chance, does anyone here have the Pentax 50-135mm SDM (IF) F2.8? I'm thinking of selling my Sigma 24-60 F2.8 which is pin sharp just not enough reach. If anyone has the lens or has used it I would appreciate an opinion.
Cheers

That's an option i hadn't considered, are u happy with the 70-200?
I use a Pentax K100D Super, was going to buy the K200d but decided to wait and save up for the K20. I also have the Tamron 18-250mm, Sigma 10-20mm, Tamron 70-300mm, A50mm f1.7, M50mm f1.4 and a few other older lenses. Reall would like the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 as well, I am greedy
