Sorry to hear about this Carl. However if your own and the police suspicions turn out to be correct you may yet get your gear back before long.

I use both these lenses a lot and find the 16-50 turns out quality images to rival the 50-135. Great for close ups and portraits but not as good as the 50-135 when photographing moving objects at speed. I don't think the focus on mine snaps in as quickly as the longer zoom.

For me it would be the DA*50-135mm. I can also the the advantage of having a wide angle, say my Sigma 10-20mm or DA*16-50mm. to get sweeping views.
At 1,000 feet though you would be a little too low to get much of a view in the Scottish Highlands or Snowdonia.

Lovely mountain landscapes and well worth your effort to climb to the summit. I must admit I prefer the colour versions, they have a little more detail and depth to them than the mono images.

You keep on showing them up in S.E. Northumberland how good you are with your Pentax Stan. Well done.

First class Bill. I too particularly like the Battery point image.

For some reason the K5 IIs keeps disappearing then reappearing several days later on the Jessops site - I have enquired twice over the last 2 months and they confirmed they were out of stock, and I didn't think it was being produced any more, so where are they getting their stock from???

Don't trust them, they did exactly the same with Pentax lenses , taking deposits then saying they were waiting for more stock....nothing appeared and many people (including me) had a hard time getting our money back (It took me six months!) Eventually they admitted to me that the deposits were taken knowing they would not be able to guarantee getting the lens.

Hmmm - makes sense! I thought they may have been selling "returns" or "refurbs" as new [/quote]The K5lls was on sale at that price in the MetroCentre, Gateshead today where I saw it on display, so they have it in stock.

Its currently advertised at £599 by SRS Louise. You can sometimes find one second hand on this forum for a lot less.

I'd like a wide angle WR lens but I don't think there is one.

My DA*16-50mm lens is quite wide. And its WR. And its been drenched many times without any noticeable consequences. The picture above was taken a couple of years ago at Middlesborough on a camera club assignment. This was on the K30 with the 16-50 stopped right down to f20 so you can see the water drops on the skylight filter in front of the lens.
