thanks for the info.
I have used the kit lens in some bad weather with no apparent ill effects,but would be nice to have weatherproof lens.
the sugestions to try at a dealer sound like a good option, what should i be looking for specifically?

am looking at replacing my K10 kit lens.
Amateur Photograher compared the Pentax 16-50 2.8 and the Sigma 18-50 2.8 lenses.
the conclusion was very close in image quality, but I have heard of quality problems with the Pentax lens.
do any of you guys use either of these optics?

Thanks for the help chaps.
John has correctly identified the problem, I took the shot in mixed light, tungsten and twilight.
Obviously the K10 is more sensitive than my DL as there was not much outside light in the frame.

My K10 arrived a couple of days ago, and what a difference to my old DL.
I`m still playing around with it and have noticed a problem with the WB setting. When shooting in tungsten light, the awb setting works as expected, but if I use the preset tungsten setting a heavy blue cast is apparent.
Anyone else had this problem?

This might seem like a stupid question........
The K10 is on offer at a very low price at the moment, and I am tempted to upgrade from my DL.
Obviosly the K10 is a better quality camera with many more features and better performance, but will I notice an increase in image quality at 10x8 from the 10mp sensor?
I have to say that my DL produces very nice images, but a larger viewfinder and faster operation of file buffer and playback would be nice.

Hi
am interested in purchasing this lens, has anyone here used one?
If so, what is you`re opinion of it.
Will I notice any difference in image quality compared to my 18-55 lens
at 10x8 print sizes.

Thanks for the advice.
You can pick up a new 31mm for around £650, but I agree with George, second hand is a good way to go. Unfortunately these lenses are like hens teeth on the used market.
As for the fixed lens hood, I rarely use filters so thats not a problem.
