Think I am being ignored, I have never had one

So you are saying stick with the 18-55 kit lens I have ordered and add to my collection at a later date, well I know now would be best but I have the K7 and kit lens to pay for and there are limits

Your comments and advice please. I need/want a wide end zoom – have decided I need a zoom as it is not always possible for me to frame as I would wish (can’t climb etc.) otherwise I would be looking at a prime.

I have on order with SRS the K7 kit lens 18 -55 AL WR f3.5-5.6 not having any idea what it will cost but am now thinking perhaps I should ask if I can change this to one of the other lens that may suit my needs.

12 – 24 ED AF IF f4
17 – 70 ED IF SDM f4
or perhaps the 16 – 45 ED AL f4

if you could discuss the merits of the above or perhaps persuade me that I should go for a prime.

Thanks

I accept your comments were tongue in cheek, I have difficulty in taking part in a forum because I suffer dyslexia and my spelling and grammar leave a lot to be desired but I am determined to try and continue making comment. However there was a time when a comment similar to the one you made would have deterred me from joining in for a number of weeks and I feel for those less determined than I.

Edit reason: Spelling

Language is for communication, I am sure I understand Unlocker's post so his use of our language was adequate, what more should we ask?

I am pleased with mine too, like most lens it does not perform at it's best when pushed to its limits but overall I have no complaints and I am not thinking of giving it away any time soon.

Once owned a rose like that it was called Whiskymac, an apt name for a beautiful rose it was scented too. Thank you for sharing yours with us.

Have to agree shim, need a viewfinder, totaly useless without.

They are very nice shots I particulaly like the last as it has a different composition from the usual and therefore catches the attention, well done.

Well I supose they died happy.

As to the shot it is not to be viewed for pleasure and at least on my monitor it is not that sharp. On the other hand the composition and dof are good and I would think you had little time to set up as flies are not known for lengthy foreplay.
