I like the Pentax 18-135mm and recent photos I have posted on EPZ and in the Gallery here are either with that on the K-5 or with the Q. The macro shot of a ladybird currently in my PU Portfolio is shot with the 18-135mm.

So yes, I would definitely pay the extra.

AnthonyB has also hit on another important reason why I tended not to buy third party lenses.

Pentax, Nikon and Bronica all focus the same way. Everyone else focuses in the opposite direction. This doesn't matter so much when using AF, but it does cause a monent's delay when using MF and is definitely a distraction.

Another good reason also to stick with one marque, or at least to mix marques that work the same way.

35mm is a standard lens on APS-C, not a wide lens, so I would suggest the SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm f4 as the ideal wide lens.

If you do a forum search for "tethered" then quite a few threads comne up, including ones relevant to Macs.

Despite theoretically slides outresolving digital images, the digitally projected pictures tend to look brighter and sharper....

In photo societies slides have all but died out.

It's not a great idea to put your e-mail address in a post as it will attract spammers.

If AlfaFoxtrot sends you a PM to initiate contact you will then be able to reply.

I haven't compared the two side by side, but the Pentax lens does perform well and is specifically designed for digital use. At the second hand prices being asked, it's definitely worth having.

The Pentax 55-300mm is better, but then it is also rather more expensive.

The Pentax 50-200mm would be a good option, perhaps buying one of the many second hand ones available from SRS and others.
