I'd seriously consider a secondhand DA 50-135 f2.8. You should be able to get one within your budget and it's like having a bag of primes with you.

If you feel the price is not right, I will consider reasonable offers!

I just won a bid for a K-5 IIs with the KatzEye screen swapped in. Now instead of peaking I have a Fresnel/split-prism viewfinder, like the good old days For a few extra dollars/pound/euro it can really change the equation... not that such a screen won't fit on a K-3 as well of course
So does the K-3 use the same focusing screen as the K5/K5ii?

I am very new to DSLR´s, I thought all Pentax lenses fitted to any camera?
I have a K-50 what type of mount does this have?
The lens in this thread has a K mount and will work with your camera, in fact it is a very good lens that can be found at a very good price (for instance from srs)
The point of this thread is that Argos is selling it at a very high price and they got the lens specs all wrong on their site......

This is a rare lens, and it is in excellent condition, both externally, mechanically and optically. Focus is very smooth and aperture snappy. I cannot see any signs of note on the barrel. It comes with both back and front cap, the Pentax logo on the front cap has lost some to its paint.
I would be happy to answer any questions and send additional pictures if needed.
The asking price for the lens is 250 euros, which includes shipment to EU.
I accept Paypal as well as bank transfer

Hi guys, first post here looking for a little advice.
I currently shoot with a Nikon D800 & a Tamron 24-70 f2.8, its a nice bit of kit but I've been finding lately that I don't "need" the 36MP Size of the pictures and also that I'm finding the size a bit of a pain to carry all the time.
I've previously had a variety of APS-C DSLR's and tried a few of the mirrorless setups as a potential accompaniment to the D800 but in my realization that I don't think I "need" it I'm beginning to look at a full scale replacement.
My lenses I have for the D800 are currently really aimed at Full Frame so if I sold the D800 I'd likely sell them too or I'd consider a straight downsize to the D7100.
The smaller size of the Pentax bodies attracts me along with the excellent range of prime lenses which seem like they would be ideal for travel and for sticking on the K3 so I can stick it in my bag daily.
I'm looking to see if there are users who have either moved from a D800 (or similar) to Pentax or have shot both and could give some feedback on how they found it?
