Isn't Satobi just another colour profile like "Natural", "Vivid", "Black and white" etc?
Think it's a jpeg only preset, totally useless to RAW shooters.

Never used a preset.

I see the 300mm, 15-30mm and 70-200mm have all been listed on Ebay.

I know nothing about astro but I imagine you want something as fast as possible so if you are using a crop body and the 11-16mm is out of your reach maybe look at the Sigma 18-35mm f/2.8 ?

Personally at £120 I would buy the Sigma anyway and try it, if no good you should get your money back easily (and make a bit on it as well)

Really suprised Pentax doesn't have a full frame capable 70-300mm already, it's a fairly standard lens for all other makes.

Sigma 300mm f/2.8 for £500
Sigma 15-30mm for £69

Someone beat me to them on LCE website, anyone here?

Yeah I know the feeling.

Nice to see you back with Pentax (for a while anyway)

Edit: forgot, I presume you are looking for crop stuff? I have a 16-50mm and 50-135mm.

Shame the light isn't there but the second one shows the power and size of the aircraft nicely.

I was going to just post a picture of a red kite but wasn't sure if anyone would get the joke.
