>>2717942I have K3 and K5's, and an array of T-mount, M42, K, M, A, FA, DA, Adaptall lenses well in excess of what anybody should ever own.
I think I have finally found some of my personal sweet spots, and I suspect they would be good for anyone.
Pentax DA 10-17mm/3.5.4.5
-dont use it a lot any more, but ultrawide is always useful when you need it.
Sigma 17-50mm/2.8
-kinda replaced my F 50/2.8 macro for general low light and drinking use. I really like this lens even if it can be more difficult to tell if it's focussed or not, and it's FF design makes it oversized for an APS-C camera.
Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM
-general use lens. Heavy, but sharp and useful image quality across the aperture range.
Pentax DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8
-for when the sigma 70-200 is too unweildy. ie travelling etc. It should be noted that this lens is unplesantly stiff to zoom by comparison, but becasue the camera recognises it and applies various corrections, and it has the newer coatings, it produces pretty fucking amazing images straight out of camera.
also: FYI
http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/note that there is also a "3rd party lenses" section. Search does not overlap, so youhave to know to search both sections.
