Just found this place after looking around for a good Pentax site - some of the other more general photography sites are a bit lacking when it comes to Pentax questions etc.

Currently using a KX with the kit 18-55 and a Sigma 70-300 macro APO thing. Bought the camera about 6 months ago intending to do landscapes but seem to do more macro stuff.

On the lookout for some good cheap older lenses but no idea where to start!

Hi Ivan and welcome to the forum, I would recommend any Pentax 50mm at around f1.7 or less, loads on ebay, and if you make sure it is manual it will teach you more about how to setup your camera correctly.
Enjoy your Pentax.
