I guess it all depends on what Pentax bring out in the future- the 645D would be ideal for my work but the price! I will just have to see how my fundraising goes.

I have the 16-45 and the Sigma 17-70 (HSM,OS,macro) I used the Sigma on my K-7 as my general take anywhere gear- quite a useful range advantage over the 16-45 which I use with my K-5. I have now sold my K-7 and to be honest always reach for the Pentax over the Sigma- although I mostly use my K-5 for studio work. My dogsbody/general use replacement for the K-7 is now a D7000 which came with a couple of very nice Tokina lenses at a bargain price. The Sigma is a good lens, the build quality is excellent but the 16-45 has always delivered great sharp results so my Sigma sits on the shelf in it's box with my other backup gear. Sorry for the lack of technical content.
Cheers,
Gary

An excellent macro - sideview really helps with limited DoF at high magnification.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Dave- I've had good service from SRS (on stained K5 sensor)- just no free delivery/ discounts on several items. I will follow your advice in future.
Cheers, Gary

Thanks Barrie - As with previous orders I just can't find anywhere on the order form or my account details to let them know my PU number.
Cheers, Gary

I have purchased all sorts from SRS whilst being a forum member, inc. K7, K5 and various lenses- how do you get free p&p?
Cheers, Gary
