I'd choose the 31 Ltd, in fact if I could only have one lens for my camera it would be the 31mm Ltd, in black. s/h price £700-800.

AFAIK, there are only three that work with SDM and non are available new:

Tamrom-F AF1.4X Pz-AF MC4
Teleplus Pz-AF 1.5x SHQ (Maybe Branded "Kenko" or other clones)
Teleplus Pz-AF 1.7x SHQ (again maybe Branded "Kenko" or "Soligor" other clones exist)

I've had 3 FA*24 f/2's and sold every one, the first was not sharp at the edge until f/8, bought two more since thinking it may be a sample issue but they were all soft at the edge until f/8. Now I just use the Sigma AF 24mm f/2.8 Superwide.

How about the new Tamron AF 70-300mm VC USD ?
Are you winding me up Mike

That's what I was suggesting, but it's not made in Pentax fitting.

Sorry, no offence meant, I'm sure the Sigma DG IS HSM 150 - 500mm is a great lens and more than up to the job. It's just that I believe Rob was looking for the same kind of lens I am:

Reliable silent AF
Full time manual focus
Up to 300mm reach
Not too big and heavy, for the times you don't want or can't accomodate the extra burden.

I want something that will fit in a lightweight kit with say the DA-17-70 and cover 90% of my needs.
