I've recently discovered the magic of one of the fabled trio though (31)...

So the 77mm would surely be in contention if I plugged the gap... but... then I wouldn't want the DA* 55mm to not be used... its such a good lens and WR... so I suspect it'll remain a gap for some time

This 70mm is a very good deal for someone though

OK so I've no idea how competitive this price will turn out to be... so may not strictly be a deal... but who know who might actually stock it? UKDigital seem to advertise/stock most Samyang stuff....

If it has to be one then 18-135mm or 16-85mm perhaps

But if you can go to two... DA 20-40mm (WR) with a DFA 100mm (WR) might be a nice combo (or swap the DFA 100mm for the 55-300mm HD WR and you have a massive range covered).

Would you really rate the Sigma 70-200mm over the Pentax DA* 60-250mm which is a similar price?

Sure the Pentax is not f2.8 but I would imagine in every other department it is hard to beat (?)

And then the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 is half the price of both those...

Of the modern lenses, the Tamron [pentax fit] 70-200 f2.8 can be had for 475 new and seems to be the best bang for buck [for a zoom] in this range

Obviously primes will be better IQ, such as DFA 100mm or DA* 200 both f2.8... but it seems the Tamron is no slouch... the only negatives I can see of the Tamron are its size/weight and no WR

Bump.. still looking for 200 posted

But would possibly consider a swap or partial swap towards:

Pentax DA 10-17mm
Pentax DA* 200mm/300mm
