I'm 99.9% certain it will but can some one confirm that this lens will allow shutter priority with a PKA mount?

Just don't want to buy the wrong lens!!

OK, I have a Tamron 19AH 70-210mm f/3.5 which weighs 30oz and it doesn't have a tripod support.

Is it possible to use this on a tripod? Or am I risking damaging my camera?

Hi Mike P

Can the Tamron that you write about communicate with the camera as though it was an A type lens or does it have to operate as a M lens?

I assume that it is more readily available due to the adaptall mount?

Hi

The £400 was really a maximum for a single lens but where possible I want to avoid spending any where near that if I can.

Auto focus I would love to have but is not essential. I am quite happy to go with manual focus as long as the quality/price is right (something I was used to with my old OM1).

An example of what I've have in mind for a manual focus lens is a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm v3, (but open to other suggestions).

For an auto focus wide angle lens I'm considering a Sigma 10-20mm.

As I mentioned previously I don't envisage building a collection of lenses over night but hope to enjoy doing so over a period of time.

Sorry George I forgot to mention that in my last post yes I do mean Ka.

Would I see much benefit from this over the M series lenses?

I'm interested in both Pentax and third party lenses. I've never been a brand snob with anything I've done, however I do like quality!

Price range, starting as low as possible, up to £400 if it's worth it! Maybe more... I am married so that does have a bearing!!!

I will have to prioritise and I'm not expecting to have a huge collection of lenses over night.

Hi

I'm looking for a range of good value KA mount lenses to go with my K10D.

I would value your recommendations. As for focal length... I'm interested in anything up to 300mm.

I will be using my camera for:
Sports photography (sailing and amateur football)
Portrait (family and friends)
Macro (fungi and insects)
Landscape

Just about everything!

Can you also include what price bracket I could expect to pay?

Many thanks from an enthusiastic beginner.

Simon

Just for your info Jessops are selling the Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DA ED on their website for £49.99 (plus P&P).

Not bad eh!
