I've had my K10D for about 4 months and just love it. I've been quite happy with the kit lens for most of my casual shooting, but it just ain't good enough in marginal light... restaurants and bars and parties and such.
What should I upgrade to, with a $400-500 budget?
I'm considering:
- the Pentax DA 16-45 f/4. Backordered at most of the places with the best prices, but looks like I could get it under $400 when it becomes available.
- the Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5. Faster, longer. Can get it for $325 shipped on eBay. Photozone.de gives it a pretty good review. Any downside??
Is there any other lens I should be looking at, given that I my priorities are: First, faster than the kit lens; Second, standard zoom range; Third, price? (For what it's worth, I also have an A50 f/1.7 for when I want a good low-light shot and have time to focus manually.)
