Pentax 70mm ltd lens
Answer 2: Tell her you want the FA77, then say you'll compromise by going for the DA70. I mean look at how much you'll save.

That said you really need a wide angle lens first

Although new to the forum I have been a Pentax user since 1969 and member of Pentax Users for many years. I love my K100D - very good handling and just the right size. I also like the 18-55mm kit lens, but did not find it very sharp. So I bought a 16-45mm, which is definitely a better lens, even if a bit heavy compared to the 18-55mm. So I complimented with the 40mm ltd, which is very handy and quite sharp. But I am now a bit short on the telephoto side. I want to keep my kit light and compact, so another zoom doesn't look attractive. I was considering the 70mm ltd, but have not managed to see many reviews of it. The price at SRS is high, so my first question is: "Is it worth it?" My second question is: "How do I convince my wife this is an essential purchase?" (but I suppose that one is for me to answer!).
Many thanks!
