I admired an old 135-600mm zoom (Mannesty's?) in the window. I managed to get out of the store without my CC taking a hit which was lucky as I discovered I had left my wallet at home when I went into Sainsbury's.
I saw that last time I was in there, it's amazing, wonder how much they want - it's not on srs's website used list IIRC
LINK for you

Is that the one on Ebay with 8000 clicks?

I thought about it for a while but decided not in the end.

I actually disagree; I prefer the Tamron 70-300 than my DA 55-300...but it's a personal thing of course. The Tamron suits my style better.
I knew you would, which is why its my opinion

Was the sigma good? sharp? I have seen them for £200ish and could afford to get one of them and i would probably keep my tamron 70-300 and spend the rest of my budget on something else (accessories etc)
The Sigma was fine, I just have a thing for fixed apertures when using a zoom. I would however def sell the 70-300mm in favour of the Pentax 55-300mm if you can, not to say the Tamron is bad but the Pentax is just better imo.

Would you say the 16-50 is better optically than the 17-70?

Honestly couldn't tell you as I haven't tried the DA 17-70.
Quite fancy trying one though, had the Sigma 17-70mm for a while but got rid of that in favour of the 16-45mm (which went when I got the 16-50mm).

Depends on your budget but I would go Pentax 17-70 and 55-300mm and a 12-24mm or Sigma 10-20mm at a later date if you don't find 17mm wide enough. Personally I find my 16-50mm fine for landscape which is why my 12-24mm is for sale.
