For those that use FF DSLR's, they already know why they do. For Pentax users who don't, don't give it a thought as it would all be hypothetical.

As far as missing anything, the same may be said about FF DSLR user's not using DMF cameras. It goes on.

I use a FF and since using it, I would never be without one.

Best regards

I can honestly say that my SRS D7000 has been faultless to date. It only gets used with one lens and is a back up to the D700. As with my K10D, K7 and Minolta 7D, it was bought without ever having held one. Pity that you got a dud.

A good set of images Gary, it's the sort of stuff I like doing. Never had an issue about aproaching people but that's down to being "accustomed" to it. Back to the FF FOV of around 50mm, people like it but seldom use it.

You may have started something?

Great images. I like the saturated colours. I prefer the second shot as it captures the reflections of light.

The 50-135 is a sure bet and I'd personally go for the 16-50 as I prefer not to have overlapping focal lengths if only two lenses are in the bag.
The 16-50 is also a first choice due to that extra 1mm less focal length. It really does make a difference as I have recently used the Sigma 17-50 and missed that extra FOV at the wide end (now using a 16-50 again).

The 18-250mm is a highly desireablt travel lens. Its only real drawback is the f6.3 maximum aperture at the long end.
Tend to agree with the f/6.3 issue. I, myself, would see it as an issue.

However, if your off to sunny, bright climates?

Pentaxophile's suggestion of a compact super zoom has merit but may also have a slow long end aperture.

At the end of the day, compromise is just that and the results may be indicative.

They look wonderful. Definitely worth the effort.

I've just had another thought - it might be worth checking that Canon and Nikon cameras will actually autofocus with those lenses. Just like the Pentax KAF3 mount being in-lens motor only, there might be issues, especially with some Nikon bodies.
The D7000 as mentioned in the OP does have screw AF as well as in lens AF.
