Originally posted by zorrofox Thanks for the help folks. Does anyone know when the 16-50mm D* is likely to be available in the UK? And how much it's likely to cost? I have a max budget of £1000 and I can source the K10D body and and 16-45mm combo for £800 which leaves a bit of room for maneouvre.
from the prices I read here in canada, the 16-50 will be about the same price as the 17-70 and the 16-45 combined
I have the 17-70 and it is a great lens for outdoors. very sharp around F8.
It is a little slow for indoors without a flash, unless you use it in the 17-30mm area.
good luck
