So as usual we are going to have to pay over a hundred quid over the odds for the privelege of buying this lens here in the UK......
Do aany of the independant makers do a 2.8 zoom at a sensible price?
Whats so great about this staggeringly expensive Pentax glass anyway?....when all is said and done, it's a ZOOM LENS!!!!....it's not like it was a high quality prime....nobody will be getting any really big prints using it, it's only a convenience and 'walkaround' lens.

If the suggested selling price in the USA is $899 for the DA* 16-50 and the exchange rate is close to 2 dollars to the pound, then the suggested selling price in the UK should be somewhere between £450 and £500 or is this just wishful thinking :
Expect to pay around 50% more, if you're lucky.

....and I got stopped (quite rightly) for taking pictures of a kiddy's roundabout
But why "quite rightly"? Why shouldn't you or anybody else, take photos of roundabouts with or without children. It should not be the taking of photographs that is a problem, but rather the use of them.

I thought I'd resuurect this thread as I'd like some advice please. I'm being lazy not searching for reviews but I thought I'd get a more informed view here. What is the general opinion about Sigma 50mm F2.8 Professional Macro Lens - Pentax-KA fit which is on offer on ebay, currently at £51.
Thanks in advance.

The lens under discussion is the SMCP-A 1:4 200mm.
But a nice crisp picture, all the same.

All are * lenses.
Life is going to offer plenty of temptation in the next 12 months.
