I have decided to look for a Sigma 50-150 to complement my 17-50, which I am happy with. The longer range will be useful.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful comments. I have subscribed to shall we say 'less than friendly' forums before.

The DA* 50-135mm lens looks a good option, but I am concerned with the SDM motor malfunctioning for some people, as posted in Pentax Forums comments section.

Hello everyone,

I have been registered a while, but just getting round to posting my first topic.

Whilst doing a wedding recently for friends, I realised that my Pentax 50-200 was not up to the quality I expect. I have an excellent Sigma 17-50 f2.8 and am looking for equivalent medium telephoto zoom to match with it. Sigma, Tamron 70-200 f2.8 models preferred. I have a budget of up to £300 and will consider reasonable offers for good quality used lenses. I have struggled for ages to find this kind of kit on the internet.

Will collect in person if within reasonable distance.
