Ah, but you weren't asking what we'd buy with a limited budget...

With this criteria, you're going to get wishlists, not "Oh dear, there's a credit crunch on, best make do with a £90 Tamron" list. The Tamron's undoubtedly great for the money, but put it next to the DA*300mm and there'd be no contest.

Ok Dan fare point but lets look at say the sigma 10/20 and the pentax 10/17 lenses of similar focal lenghts and prices does pentax still have the edge then.

Seems most of the members in genaral stick to the Pentax brand. Does other brands not offer a alternative for you or is Pentax in a different class ?. I bought both the 10/20 and 17/70 Sigma lenses on recomendation and have not been disapointed. I also have the Tamron 70/300 and for the money I would not complain with the results. One Pentax lens I realy want is the 50mm 1.4 which along with a flash unit will be my next two purchaces.

I asked this question on another forum some time ago but would like also to here your choices to the following. If you were starting build a selection of lenses to make up your dream kit which would you choose and why please.

Thanks once again guys for all the info I have had a look at various comments made on both pentax and metz flash guns and both seem very positive.

Seeing as my budget is for around £150 might the pentax 360 be my best choice. Has anyone got this flash if so what is your opinion please.

Other than the two flash units listed in the manual of the k10 is there a better unit on the market for about the same price.Or should I go for the ones made by Pentax.
Regards Ian.

It would be a lovely photo if you could fix the converging verticals in PS or whatever.

The bungalow like thing on the banks to the right is the boathouse I used to row out of once upon a time. Always a bit nerve racking spinning a four just in front of that weir!

Best wishes, Kris.
