Originally posted by kmwsbabe Thank you for your thoughts. I will check out the Tamron 28-75 as you suggest. I know there are at least several well respected photographers here who use that fairly extensively, and that recommends it to me as well. The Pentax 50-135 is on my list, but more for weddings than studio where I need something to cover the wide end. Thank you again!
That is why I suggested the Tamron 17-50mm as well to cover the wide side.

I hadn't heard that before. Do you know for sure that it will replace the current Pentax one? Because with the 17-50mm they released the second edition with
USD (or whatever the AF motor is called for Tamron) or was that VC? but Pentax didn't get it.
