A question then first - what is the difference between photojournalism and street photography?

Bigger things have been happening at EPZ, but things have been happening here as well. The articles section, for example. It all takes man/woman hours and I guess there are only so many people.
Easy things get done quite quickly sometimes, but some requests are more complex.

Correct gareth. There are bigger things going on at the moment, but when the dust settles this can be looked at.

There is still a benefit to having been a subscriber!

I find it dosconcerting that any writer can put "depth of focus" when he means "depth of field" but that aside, this is an interpretation of results from DxO so not original research.
However, the basic message is correct. F1.7/1.8 lenses perform better than the f1.4 versions, at least in certain parameters. If you use the f1.4 for what it is intended for then it becomes superior to the f1.7/1.8 versions.

SMC Pentax-DA L 55-300mm is available for as little as £169 or so. This is optically the same as the highly regarded DA version, but the lowere price is obtained by lack of hood, lack of QuickShift and the plastic mount.
It's the perfect lens to go with your 18-55mm. You could then pop the 50-200mm in the Classifieds here, or perhaps on eBay.

You need to see what you are doing for a start so a powerful LED torch will help. Use it to help composition and to give enough light for AF to work, if you wish to use AF, or to manually focus.
Then trial and error for exposures, or, if you are in the city, just use the exposure meter with some exposure compensation as needed.
In the countryside exposures may be very long. Try car headlamps as well as flash to light foreground objects and people.
