If you want to use this for landscapes you may find 28mm is not wide enough. Can you stretch to an 18-200?
Hi, I have finally found one in my budget of a 18-200 tamron, it cost me £135 for a second hand one, which is £6 more than the tamron 22-200 that I was considering at first. Thank you for your advice again.If you want to use this for landscapes you may find 28mm is not wide enough. Can you stretch to an 18-200?

I have just had a reply and it said: "I think that is being sold by SRS. If you do buy they will probably ship free as you are a forum member.Dave"

"Thank you for contacting us, unfortunately we don't offer free postage on eBay sales as the fees are so high.Kind regards,Daniel"
So it looks like if I buy off ebay, I don't get p/p free. But another email said:
"If you are a member of the Pentax User Forum, then you can recieve free postage (within mainland UK). If you put your username when you order then we can adjust the postage costs".
Thanks

There's one on a well known auction site currently for a BIN of £40. I think it may be an earlier model which could date it to 1992 I guess?

Thanks, I did have a bridge camera, and sold it to help buy this pentax camera. I wasn't really impress with it,apart from using the view angle, which was great, in that I didn't have to get on the floor to get some low angle shots.

The two kit lenses 18-55mm and 50-200mm would be better for someone on a budget. Both good lenses, although the 18-55mm can vary, so try to stick with the Mk2 version.

Can anyone tell me how good this lens is, I don't have a lot of money, so don't want to spend out on this and find its not so good in quality photo's. I want a lens for walking to use close up's and zoom out for landscapes and not want to change lenses on my pentax k20d camera. Also want to travel light, as I have an injury on one of my arms and can't carry to much. I have found a new one on ebay for £129 plus £7.99 p/p, is that good. Thanks for any help.

Would the 28-200 be better quality as its less of a stretch from 18-200. As there is a compromise always to get decent quality from that much focal range.
