I can highly recommend the Sigma 17-70mm f.2,8 - 4.0 ( 4.5 )
It's very crisp indeed and has a nice close focussing capability of 22cm. and the wide apaerture of 2.8 at 17mm is very useful

The seller of the lens I now own had mentioned some focussing hesitancy between 50 and 70mm prior to me purchasing it. Since I've owned it I have not experienced any problems at all, even in very poor light. I've used it on the K-x, the K-5 and the K-5IIs, all with successful results.
