I like the ferry crossing and the Christmas image - both b&w. Another nice set of images!

Thanks for sharing David - a very nice set of images; all good in different ways, If I had to choose it would be the kelpies reflection (5) and no 6

Its a shame the revised Tamron on which the new Pentax lens is based hasn't been made available in K mount. However I suspect in a side by side comparison, the lens offered here wouldn't produce overly differing results to the new Tamron/Pentax. The only real oddity is the clunky MF/AF push pull system.
The new version on which the Pentax is based has improved optical shake reduction, a feature not available in the Pentax lens. So all in all, one would have to be a purist to pay the additional £1000 for a Pentax branded one when the Tamron version (not available to Pentax users) retails around £750 in other mounts. At the end of the day I don't reckon anyone would be disappointed with the older Tamron; a bargain!
