Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
Originally posted by maxwell1295 My thoughts on this (because I've gone through this several times)....if you don't use a lens because it doesn't fit your eye or your style of photography, sell it. If you don't use a lens because the situation where you would use it doesn't come up very ofter AND the lens does fit your eye/style, keep it because you'd regret it later on.
Originally posted by ivoire Since you haven't used it in a while, the 'novelty' has probably worn off. Put it on the camera and go out and shoot with it for a day. Then decide.
I like these ways of framing the decision. I'll give it some more time with these in mind and then I'll decide.
Originally posted by Andi Lo By the way how do you find DA 18-250 compared with the sigma 17-70? Other than the Pentax - Sigma color differences?
Frankly, I haven't had enough time to say: the 18-250 is currently away for what is turning out to be an epic warranty repair (
