A quick peek at the items on the PentaxForums lens review database suggests that the Sigma zoom is likely to be the most useful nowadays ... The others don't sound worth bothering with, unless you've got nothing to cover the focal lengths.

The sigma unfortunately had a problem with the auto focus ,it made a whirring noise but didn't focus ,like it wasn't in gear kinda thing .
Thanks

I too found an AF lens with a funny whirring noise and no focussing. Turns out, because I do so much manual work, I hadn't switched it to 'auto' ....Duh !

A 24mm for 18 quid? I'd have gone for that, not sure about the others.

I've no shortage of lenses covering the 70-210 range so I'd not even have given them a second look, but I know a Pentax user in the market for a cheapish macro.
My Miranda 24mm/2.8 works adequately (and was only £5) though it has a Ricoh pin, it's smooth enough not to cause issues,
