Hi guys... sorry, I haven't been on here for ages....
I just bought a DA*16-50mm lens and I don't feel entirely confident about it but I can't put my finger on whats wrong! Its something to do with the auto focus I don't feel happy about and I know there have been some doubts raised about this lens in the recent past... what are the supposed problems people are talking about? Is it the focus? It doesn't seem sharp enough some how, buts its very slight.
The build quality of this lens is outstanding but something about it is making me uncertain....
Apologies again for my absense, your advice would be appreciated
cheers Lee

Thankyou for that advice... I think, with a small budget, and the need for a good quality all round lens, the 16-45mm would probably be my best bet to start with. I have a DA50-200mm already which I'm happy with. Then I'll save up for the 10-20mm perhaps.
The 16-50mm would be nice but a tad too much money.

Actually, my next question was going to be...
Is the 16-45mm alot better than the 18-55mm kit lens? Is it worth the upgrade? I do like wide angle a great deal and considered keeping the 18-55 and buying a 10-17mm instead. I can't afford both unfortunately.... hmm..???

Hi guys I'm looking for a good all round/everyday lens to replace the Pentax 18-55mm on my K10D. I wondered if the Sigma EX 18-50/2.8 would be as good or better than the Pentax 16-45mm... And which I should go for.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well. I have a budget of £300.
cheers Lee

Hi Lilly..

To someone who is used to handling guns, that picture is extremely uncomfortable to look at..

Hi guys, I used PictureTrail to upload this but I can't get it any bigger. Perhaps they have a limit on size
