BUMP

Hi,
I have a SMC PENTAX-F 1:1.7 50mm lens, find the length too long.
Thinking of swapping for a fixed aperture (2.8 probably) zoom (Sigma 17-70, Tarmon 17-50 or similar).
Pluses- zoom.
Minuses-physical size & weight, aperture.

What do you think, which would you prefer etc?
cheers,
pa.

Mannesty- thanks.
What's the difference?
I thought the A meant autofocus (but obviously not).
Cheers,
pa.

Sorry..price.
I don't really know to be honest; it's hard to find 'going rate for it'. If interested either make an offer or show me example on the net for similar.

Came with K-X but I use Tamron 18-250 so selling.
Perfect condition; PM me for images. Some here- http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=35682219

Hi,
Offer £40.
I'm new to this forum so can't send PM yet....
So can you send me details (paypal account/e-mail) to pacork at gmaildotcom

Are you willing to post to Ireland and add on the postage price to the £40?
