sorry for the blow below the belt..
Anyway, how many of you would have a lens like this to match the 12-24mm?
Let's show our wishes to the Pentax (or Sigma..) managment!

Welcome to the forum - comical name there...

IMO the 16-50 + 50-135 is a better combination to the 12-24, which is a quality lens.
If you're looking for a more budget option, perhaps the 18-250 could cover the range you're after?

I'm completely with you on this. I actually seriously looked at the Tamron 24-135 to match 12-24 for a two lens landscape kit (hiking included) that would be lighter than the 16-50/50-135. Actually, I would probably pass out if Pentax had this theoretical lens along with a DA 135mm Ltd. on the next roadmap.

I have the tamron 24-135 already and am thinking of matching it with the tamron 10-24 to give me a two lens travel solution along with a prime or two but dont know. I have the 10-17 so the ultrawide is covered but it is a fisheye,

decisions decisions

I guess thats why LBA is so much fun
