Hi Joseph, welcome to the forum
Congratulations on the K-7 I'm sure you will be happy with it. Like Mike says I went for the kit with mine simply because it was too good a bargain to pass up at only £20 extra. I don't use it that often but it is nice little zoom if not stella in performance.

Just an aside I believe Olympus also use ring motors in their SWD lenses and they are not just reserved for the larger-longer focal length zooms. I can testify that they are blindingly quick, weather and dust sealed too.

George, I think you are correct regarding seals and focus motor capacity, it should make no difference as the seals do not offer any resistance to the motor (the mechanism is internal with respect to the seals).

I like my DA* SDM lenses, OK I agree with Richard they are not 'sports cars' but more like 'warmed up saloons' but mostly they get the job done in a silent manner

I agree Mike, when read in it's entirety it is a very good review. Pentax should be very pleased with their efforts (I think)

Mind you I would say that wouldn't I

Another vote for Aaduki, my gear is insured with them and I have found them to be very competitive.

No failures so far for my 16-50 and 60-250.

That would be my choice too, lovely shots Rob. The F-86 has to be one of the best looking earlier era jet fighters.
