Both the zooms have had failed SDM, the 300 sulks from lack of use. When the zooms came back from JSPS they went from being very good to absolutely superb. Definitely worth the investment.
Would I buy the 50-135? No, I have primes that cover that range
(I also have primes that cover much of the 16-50 range also:blush
Would I buy the 55? Don't think so, but occasionally tempted. I have 2 50s that are used infrequently.
Would I buy the 200? As an FA* yes, but also get an FA*70-200.
The 60-250 was bought to replace 2 lenses - the Sigma EX - rationalisation of kit.
Would be nice for Pentax to bring out a longer DA* zoom

It's due to cost. They're not using mechanical aperture links for other mounts so they have to manufacture parts specifically for Pentax.
I'm not familiar with it, but I'd imagine that the Nikon F mount would also use a mechanical link, due to it's age.

I have a K-5 that ticks your boxes (I think it's less than 15K), but if I sell it I would rather sell it with the OEM Pentax grip.

A photo taken on a Sony?, given that the majority of Pentax DSLR's have used Sony Sensors (bar the K20D/K-7) slightly modified for use in pentax there is 'some' relationship there.....
Photos taken with film for uploading to PU, AFAIK Pentax or its parent companies have not made scanners, and there is no way we can prove the photo was taken on a Pentax camera..
I do support the notion of discussing the pros and cons between Pentax products and their competitors as the last thing Ricoh would find useful would be a brand-specific site full of happy clappers.

Well spotted Bill, was going to mention this later on this morning Mike - was rather busy yesterday!!
Still waiting for the start of the airshow season before I jump in with a K-3 but have to ask Chris, is the grip going to stay that price permanently? ... if not (and you remember) could you give us a warning before it goes back up.
