I've used the flash quite a lot just in my hands with Macro work and inside it's handy you can aim the flashhead to let the light bounce of ceilings and walls.
Sigma DG ST model has loads of power, but virtually no control. You'd be better off spending the little bit extra on the Metz 48. Power is nothing without control.

Also iso noise is better, at least if the GX20 is in par with the K20D and i do think so.

Not that it is bad just be careful when shooting with shallow DOF

If I've the time though, i only use the AF to move the focus close and then focus manual. My current most photograph subject is my little cousin of almost 2 so he does hardly sit still.
edit: had troubles with the family order.
Like John said you try to focus on the eyes yes, thought you asked me what I did. ^^;

And I only use the AF button, not half press release.

There are many here that can give you great advice over that.
For £50 that's a very good deal I believe.
The long primes are surely a bit more expensive.

Only too bad I can't read that
I'm still not sure to get a 16-50 or 17-70

I've got to stop reading these forums. I now have a sudden urge to buy another lens, even though I never knew I wanted it. I wonder if I should just give all my money to Pentax the minute I earn it? Would save lots of hassle!

They are all very good and wont regret one.
The Pentax handles probable the best.
Tamron has very nice bokeh I believe.
Sigma feels very well built.
Your choice.
Also if you sell second hand, Pentax most of the time hold his value better and since the prices have gone up now if you would sell it over a month you would hardly make any lost probable.
