After very much research and tons of thought, I have decided on these lenses for the k30 I am getting next month.
Kit 18 - 55 WR
40mm Limited pancake
Tamron 90mm Macro (Typo fixed!)
an old M mount or two for landscapes where I can take my time
Reasons? I aim to take it hiking in the snow and summer rains (hence the WR kit), and almost all of the reviews I have read say the 18 - 55 is much better than the 18 - 135mm kit lens. I also like candid street photos, landscape and infrared photography, and ofc I love Macro and portraits.
I really was tempted to go for the DA* 50 -135mm WR but seeing more than one should reviews about failing AF on Amazon, and the recently published failure survey, I am more than happy to take two well tested and respected primes at just over half the cost of a potentially faulty zoom.
Cheers,
TJWest
