I'm selling a siggy 24-60mm f2.8 on the forum, it's very good, kind of a bit of both worlds but not quite there, shame it's not 70mm.
Only thing I'd say is that it's very heavy and not small (not helping advertising).
It depends on where are you shooting the landscape and what kind of urbans, the 16-45 is great, but sometimes in an urban area I find it not "long" enough, unless you're taking architecture shots. (only me, others will disagree i'm sure)

ok the thread's turned into something I won't understand
basically, whichever one I shoot in, when I import the photos into lightroom, if I choose convert to DNG then it'll compress them and reduce the size, no matter if it's DNG or PEF?

confused by the terminology, but yes.
Both lenses at 24mm on my K-5 look the same.

Or I would swap for a 18-200mm (plus a little bit of cash), or I would add a bit of cash and swap for a 18-250mm!, or even a 17-70mm!
Both needed quite urgently...either sale or swap

sorry to hear that you can't keep the camera but glad to hear it's found a good home! I'm trying to get rid of my guilt as well!

Hands on experience I've had recently here with K5, an F4 lens and low light.
The ISO is truly good enough to compensate for that, unless you're super duper anal about noise. On a recent trip to Copenhagen it got dark so early that a lot of the time I just found myself shooting at ISO3200 and the images are still cracking (IQ wise, let alone my crap photography skills). And that was with the 16-45mm.
I don't have anything I could say technically about shooting in low light but hope some practical experience would help.

So as one lens comes one has to go.
This has been an outcome of LBA, bought not long ago from another forum member and have been very impressed with it indeed.
The lens is in immaculate condition, no scratches, dust, fungus, the zoom lock works, focusing ring works, but the lens hood has been replaced with a 3-step rubber collapsable one. Also comes with a 77mm Kenko UV filter, and both front and rear caps and box too.
I've used it a few times but not much mainly due to it's not quite wide enough despite it's low light abilities.
