Just noticed that Nimitz has a Sigma 28 -70 f2.8 EX lens for sale at £150 - I know that this would not give me wide angle coverage but will it give me better image quality than the kit lens ?

Looks like I'll have to send Santa a begging letter

Hmmm,
Thanks for the offer Peter.
Consensus seems to be that I wouldn't see any improvement in image quality by getting the mark II.
I might just ask friends and family to lump together for a christmas present and get either the DA* 16 -50 or the DA 16 - 45.
I don't suppose that you have either of those lenses spare that you bought for the cashback offer :wink

A few weeks ago I upgraded my Samsung GX 1S to a K20d which I'm now using with the Samsung D-Xenon 18-55 kit lens.
Would there be any benefit in me investing in one of the more recent Pentax SMC DA 18 -55 II lenses (£35 from Chris at SRS) or is there something else I should consider - I'd like a DA* 16 - 50 but finances won't quite run to that !

I'd be up for this as well - subject to work/her indoors commitments

In the UK, Bristol Cameras are very competitive for Pentax Cameras & Sigma lenses. They dont seem to advertize in mag's, but K20 prices look good....K20 + 16-45 - £689.
Clifton cameras also stock the same lens at £399 both very good prices.
