If you don't need to cover the wider focal lengths with the same lens then the 55-300mm PLM has a fantastic reputation for IQ and lightening-fast AF.
Unfortunately the PLM wont work on a K5, ( needs to be at least a K3 or newer ) there is a Pentax 55 - 300 AW ( its predecessor ) that will work on the K5

Morning Stuart,

In camera, the top and bottom image were shot with a K1 plus a Sigma 85mm F1.4 lens @ F1.4

#1 and #3 are great, looks like if you park at Tesco, you can walk the old circuit ?

From memory you'll need to pay VAT on the import duty and the shippers admin fee as well,

Having purchased 2 lenses ( prior to Brexit ) I can vouch for how easy it is, pick your seller well, check their feedback if using fleabay, generally I've found the Japanese sellers very good, they probably under describe the condition slightly, for example described as excellent but meaning mint.

Where poss I've purchases boxed lenses and on both occasions, they've arrived in good time, well described and mint condition

IMHO they are keen to please so supply plenty of info pre and post shipping.
