buy the newest you can...I have a K20D and K-5 and I am still very happy with the K20D

Both 16-50 and 60-250 were ok on K20D before SDM failure....Repaired lenses focus perfectly without correction. No such issues with DA*300. All spot on on the K-5

Budget option? Option B only, 18-55 and 55-300.

However, as a safari 'veteran' 300 is at the short end... and I've had to use a TC - I don't know which converters are compatible with the 55-300 since I did not own mine for long enough....

But 18-55 and 55-300 will satisfy most users and the DA will outtrump the 3rd party makes.

It might seem odd that I say this but bear me out, the best things that could've happened to my DA* lenses was the SDM motor failing, as the lenses came back from JPS better than new. It really is annoying and inconvenient when you have a failure but I am happy to accept a repair. I hope the individual K-r problems are solved satisfactorily, but I treat any purchase of a high value technically complicated item as a bit of a gamble now.

Thanks Chris,

I will certainly make use of this option of renting the long lens.

Excellent!

welcome...
which bit of Surrey are you? west London Surrey or green leafy Surrey?

The disadvantage of a zoom lens is that it has a range at which it excels, I don't know much about the Sigma zoom but I guess that like most zooms the image quality isn't as good at the fullest extent as further down the range....

whereas the DA*300 excels at 300, and also an F4, which means no issues if you add a converter, the Kenkos are very good.
