With all the recent price hikes, curious to know what the pentaxians consider the best buy lens at the moment, only have kit and 50-200 kit lenses.

I have just recently bought a DA 16-45mm for £134.00 inc shipping in the UK BNIB, its a great lens. I just keep the lens on my K10d all the time, it was worth buying.
Regards
2) 1:1 Macro around 90mm
1) Replacement for kit lens, general walkabout lens
2) 1:1 Macro around 90mm
3) Fisheye
4) Longer range 300mm+, obviously F2.8 !
Weldingblues, thats seems a great price for that lens at the moment, care to share where it came from ?
I agre all the above are great lenses but the prices right now are rediculous compared to last year. Wondered if there were any "hidden bargains" out there.
Well you did say money aside
If I were just starting out and had a limited budget I would be looking at a DA 16-45mm/ DA 55-300mm combo. Both excellent lenses. Add a Raynox DCR-250 for macro (works well on the 16-45mm) and you are set.
Maybe a manual focus Pentax A 50mm f1.7 for £50 if you feel the need to bridge the 45mm-55mm gap.
Have a K10D and the kit lens but want to expand my horizons and improve the 'quality' of my lens kit, I would like to do some macro, landscape and very occasional motorsport, also looking at taking photo's of the moon(?) so presume a X2 Teleconvertor. Being a newcomer to photography used a friends Tamron lens which had a macro facility, but this was very limited, can you offer any suggestions to start me on the road to Pentax fulfillment
tnx
can go to around 600 for a combination of lens's, if that is possible, would the teleconvertor 'help' with extending the range of a telephoto?Really depends on budget and whether you are happy to use older manual focus lenses or prefer to use autofocus.
Hi all,
I have fallen by the wayside with the camera worlds news and manufacturers until my Dad has expressed an interes in getting a DSLR recently. He wants to get a pentax/samsung as its logical for us to be able to share lenses.
I have taken a look at the new offerings and am I right in thinking that Samsung and Pentax are no longer in bed together? The Samsung Nx models appear to be completely different now!
I didn't realise the Nx was a hybrid.
He is pretty advanced, and has used my GX10 in the past. I have told him to look at the K7.
it will save any upgrades from entry level to inevitably buying the k7 anyway and i cant see pentax making a new flagship in the very near future.

Hi Folks
Not been around for a good while, there just doesn't seem to be any time lately.
As a result I am thinking of selling my kit and wondered if you pentaxians would be kind enough to give me an opinion of value? I've tried prcing from sales on various forums but not 100% sure. Thank you in advance.

yeah k7, that is the flagship of the pentax range
Just bought a kx with 18-55 and 50-200. Now just need to find out what all the buttons and settings do and I'm sorted!
Noob Here, i have a Pentax K100D super, had it just over a year now and still learning how to use it, got a mixture of lenses, mainly bought from the car boot cheaply lol so all manual focus lol
Any Pentaxians interested in this.
Yeah right, in Glasgow
Would love the lens though !
