Alex on the One Show said not to get on the track, but many ignored this, which goes to show how stupid some people really are.

Thanks for your replies.

It's a very useful one lens fits all to take on holiday where perhaps luggage is limited.
I'm off to the Norfolk Broads in April. Having never ever been there before, luggage would be a bit limited. Can anyone tell me what the area is like please?

Things to really consider are how close it can focus
I tried that out, but will give it another try tommorrow. From what I saw, it seemed quite good.

There are many conditions where you really don't want to be changing lenses (dusty windy raining ) and also the chance that you might miss the shot when changing.
What I'm worried about. I'm a bit iffy about Ebay, as not all sellers are honest. What's the best way to haggle?

I have seen a 18-250 lens by Sigma for my Pentax K30 at £159, It fits as I have tried it. is this worth going for? I already own a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm both which are weather sealed, however the 18-250 isn't, is this a problem?

I often get into a dilemma as to what lens I should use, as this lens would be like rolling two into one, it's the weather sealed problem I'm worried about.

Can you please advise me?

Many thanks.

Postage to UK or anywhere in EU (from Germany) at cost via DHL. (around 7-50 up to 2kg insured to UK)
How much is your 50-135 lens, and the 35-80mm, are they both wide angle?

Sorry I get confused by figures and numbers.
