That was a very short return to Pentax !

Will we see you here again?
Very likely, never say never.
If I could ever afford to run two systems one would probably be Pentax.

I that case would he consider trading for my Sigma 10-20? That is wider and more practical form factor as mug?

Great lens, would nog get enough use from me but otherwise... Good luck.
Big enough for a decent Beer Tankered, with zoom action to fit in more Beer...

Withdrawn from sale, I'm going to hollow it out and make a coffee mug out of it, since as a lens it's no longer of any use to me...

£140 Mike and well worth it I'd say the lens went away in beautiful nick and came back in stunning condition, just looks and feels like new, I'm getting a lump in my throat now...

Thorough cleaning, zero dust, I'm not sure if there was any though
With a lens this good I would not consider selling it without doing this, it's just worth it for peace of mind...

But it has to go...

My precioussssss...

Just had it serviced at my own expense to sell on, I would not sell a lens on this forum if I could not vouch for it, it has not been used in nearly a year and it's a bit of a shame, as it's a fine fine lens.
It's come back after a good going over by JP and it looks and works beautifully, I'll include the Fanotec Arca lens foot too!

There are some fantastic offers around on the K-50, so that might sway the balance.

However, the articulated screen of the K-S2 might be advantageous for macro shooting.

Whichever body you choose the lens of choice for me would be the Pentax WR 100mm f/2.8. My experience has been that over the years I've wasted a lot of money learning that the marque lenses and accessories (whatever the marque) fit together better and offer more satisfaction in the long run.

Hope that helps!
I'd go with the K-S2 Having had a go with one fairly recently, it's a lovely camera and if you've got my knees, then the screen is a must, paired with the WR macro, it's a tough act to beat but as InFESTation points out the Tammy is lovely too. I'd also concur with John above that you rarely get any troubles if you stick to the brand, they are after all just designed to work right...
Hard to go wrong really...
