Thanks for all your help I've managed to order a K30 with 18-55 for £269 and a 35mm 2.4 for £99. Want to save up for some WR lenses probably the 18-135 and 55-300.

In the meantime may try and get hold of a sigma or tamron 70-300 second hand. Is there any older pentax lenses that you could recommend not bothered about having to focus manually. Do lenses known as PKA fit the K30 sorry for all the questions but always used Nikon and Micro 4/3.

Right payday tomorrow and can't decide between a k50 or a k5ii. If I went k5ii I would have to get either an 18-55 or 35 2.4 then buy the 18-135 later on. Or I can go k50 and get the 18-135.

Any advice guys is the k5ii worth the extra money compared to the k50?

Thanks for the replies I'm probably going to go for the k50 as the k5 ii is out of budget less I can pick a 18-135 up at a reasonable price but best I have seen is £325.

Would the k5 be better than the k50 as I've seen k5 for around £265.

HI

I've just joined the forum as I'm looking to go back to purchasing a dslr. Basically I've had nikon dslrs so before but sold as I moved to micro 4/3.

I now have a puppy so want to back to a dslr and I have a budget of around £600 . I've been looking and I'm thinking of a k50 with the 18-135 to start off with. I don't specialise in anything really so would be using for fast action (dog) and portraits of my son but my panasonic gm1 and olympus 45mm tend to cover this.

Anymore feedback would be welcome.

Andy
