Even though I own Tamron's and Sigmas (and some other oddballs). I till will always favour a Pentax lens whenever possible. They are almost always better than a similar Fl lens. There are of course some very notable exceptions like the VL's and a few others.

But it's hard to beat the Pentax glass in most cases for the colour qualities and SMC coatings. All that being said, as a walk around my Tamron 28-75mm XR Di f2.8 is still my most used but the DA16-45 f4 is generally very nearby for wider stuff.

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.
