It's a great lens and it will be missed. But I need to switch to another brand with pro services and better results at high iso.

no your right, pentax have produced some brilliant lenses, but not the ones i want unfortunatly

if you can find me a 24-70mm f2.8 pentax lens - plus a 70-200mm f2.8 pentax lens then i will hang around for a bit hows that?
I had the first one for sale (28-70mm)for a while on this very forum. 50-135mm is much better according to me than any of the 80-200mm I've tried.It's also much lighter. Now you want to cover that range, get a 60-250mm.Don't need 2.8 since you're using a flash...
The money you'd spend to get thos two lenses would be a fraction of the price of a total switch to Nikon...

The only reason why you should switch is because your current set up doesn't allow you to take the pictures you want/need. And that you know it from experience.
I've been selling pictures for a while, gear was never an issue, until that night when I tried another brand, got this :

that could have by no means been taken with a Pentax setup at 5000 iso f:4 and took the decision to switch.
Before that, I could only assume but had no hands-on experience. Now I know, hence my selling my gear. I know what I need, and know I won't get it form Pentax,though I love the colors and the look and feel of their gear.

Bought in August 2009 will sell for 205 euros plus s&h and Paypal fee if Payapl, could not edit the post, hence the confusion.
It is a GRIP: DBG2, DBG3, DBG4 stand for Pentax grips.
Retail price in France and Germany is 309 euros, just checked this morning.
