Happy to report that I received my camera from Avides. It looks new and had a UK plug bundled in the package. Manufacture date May 2011. Shutter count was 2 (Maybe Pentax are checking the cameras before they leave the factory). And finally a camera which came with an up to date firmware!

They have responded to confirm it is a new product, not a return.

It's on it's way from Germany

Hmmm, i did not consider the DA 17-70 because I thought the Sigma 17-70 is was a better alternative ( smaller/lighter/close focus)

I must say, I am leaning towards the 18-135 WR

A version II of the 18-200 has just been announced (no OS)

I am looking for a general purpose QUIET focusing lens for my second K5. It will be permanently attached to the body and be used in a variety of conditions and locations, none involving the extremes. It will also spend significant amount of time locked and unused between periods of use.

I think most people who looking for that range will be very wary of SDM failure too!

I have just bought a second K5.

It was listed for £616.97 from Avides on Amazon. They only had 1 remaining. I was wondering wether this was a return or an older batch. Anyway I have sent a email to them to confirm that it is not a return or an earlier batch that has the sensor stain.

What do you guys think? Have I been stupid?

We need a somewhere around a16-85 type lens.

I would not mind asomething like DA15-75 f2.8-4.0 WR (with Dc Motor)

As I am more likely to only do Macro occasionally, I am thinking, I am better off with the Raynox DCR250
