Tony, beside two lenses Bill Robb mentioned there is also Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.0 DC OS HSM which is a slightly newer version of their 17-70/2.8-4.5.
I am not sure as to your limits price-wise but I am thinking that the likes of 17-50/2.8 by Tamron or Sigma might serve you better due to their constant aperture and allegedly better IQ. Another alternative is to settle for Sigma EX 24-60/2.8 which is not as wide but can be had for like USD 300 and owing one I should say it is a fine piece of gear. It covers full frame if you want to shoot film too. If you absolutely have to have range then two lenses suggested by Bill and that another Sigma I mentioned would be your choices. -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
