Just been on the phone to them - it's a Scheider (my bad) lens. Is there a mk 1 or 2?

Ok - its make your mind up time!

These are the two finalists:

Possibly the last new K10D in the country (demo model) with a mk2 18-55 @ £365
or
K200D + 18-55 Mk2 Lens @ £377. Edit: forgot the £50 cashback. Make that £327.

(posting this in my other K10/K200 thread to capture most opinion)

Thanks for that John. Do you know - is the lens a Pentax badged as a Samsung or all all Pentax lenses made by Samsung(as I have been led to believe)?

How is £100 for price? I have not been able to find anyone selling this Samsung lens to compare. Or should I be pricing it against a Pentax 70-200?

Hi Folks
Looks like I may soon be the proud owner of a K10. The shop also has a Samsung 50-200 lens available. They are willing to sell this for £100 instead of usual £150 (so they say).
How does this lens compare with either of the Sigma 70-300s? The vanilla one being about £100 the APO version £150.

As an after thought, I can purchase a Mk2 18-55 for £15 more than the Mk1 - is it worth it?
Many thanks for all your valued comments,
Nick.

Please can someone tell me what the difference between mk1&2 18-55 kit lenses and how to tell them apart?

My local London Camera Exchange has silver K200Ds at £299 before the cashback - s'pose I could make like an old time pro' and use some black tape! At that price it's very tempting.

Many, many thanks to you all for your very helpful and constructive comments. I have decided to continue down the Pentax road - though still to decide on which model!
