What I would really like to see is a top spec 17-70 constant f2.8 lens. It does not seem too much to ask yet AFAIK none on the major manufacturers make one. Nikon come closest with their 17-55 f2.8 offering. I was hoping that the new Pentax standard zoom might be such a thing but it seems not.

Asahi accepted my DA*16-50 for repair, though based on my experience so far I rather wish they hadn't. It needed a new SDM motor. I finally collected it today, after a seven month wait, only to find that it is no better than it was before - it still focuses slowly and quite often will not lock focus at all. I will have to take it back for him to have another look at it when he returns from holiday. So it's back to the trusty Sigma 17-70 for the time being.

Having owned a WG-3 for a few months now and being pleased with it at first, I can't say I would recommend it. The build quality is good but the image quality is disappointing even by the low expectations I have for waterproof compacts. Under ideal conditions I can get half decent shots but the same could be said for my mobile phone.

Unfortunately I have no experience of the other two possibilities.

I have a very large family and am often called on to take photographs at parties and receptions. I envisage the 18-35 being useful for such occasions when space is usually tight and available light limited. With a fast lens I only need a little fill in flash to balance the light nicely.I have a Sigma 24mm f1.8 but I find I could do with the extra flexibility and width of the zoom - folks often want group shots in limited spaces.

I have the Tamron 10-24. Not a bad lens at all. Very sharp at the 24mm end, a little softer at 10mm.

Maybe the common factor is not the heat but the Farnborough airshow? Maybe some of those military aircraft emit a photo-blocking signal that sends K3s crazy. I sense a conspiracy theory coming on
