Or if you get too close to my back yard when I'm watering the lawn with my garden hose.
Quote: I don't have a kit lens for my k20d I am thinking of getting either a Pentax 18-55 WR lens or a SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm F4 I have a 55-300 to go with it and a Sigma 18-200 as a walkround lens any advice would be appreciated
I'm planning a trip right now without the kit lens. My 18-135 is a much better "grab and shoot" option incorporating WR and the equivalent of 200mm FoV FF.. With my new body, a K-5, the K20D will have that lens on full time, and will be out in my boat. The K-5 will be packed in a waterproof case. And will come out when warranted. We're taking 3 bodies this trip and just can't find a place for the 18-55. I am seriously thinking of taking 2 of my 3 kits and trading them in. Even if I only get $25 each for them that will still be a nice credit towards something else. We'll keep the white one that goes with the white K-x.
