As a matter of fact it's always difficult to find the right additional lenses for yourself after you get used to your equipement. I got my K-3 almost a year ago with the Pentax 18-135 WR and the Penatx 50mm f1.8. After nearly 4k of pictures in any kind of environment - animals, cars, nature, party, sports and wedding too, it's time for me to put one or two additional lenses into my kit. Just read the "Holy Trininty" for Pentax owners and consider now some of the following stuff:
one of these
Pentax Objektiv smc DA 16-50mm 2.8 ED AL IF SDM
Sigma Objektiv AF 17-50mm 2.8 EX DC OS HSM
don't know if it would suit me:
Sigma Objektiv Art AF 35mm 1.4 DG HSM
and for a better zoom outdoors:
Pentax Objektiv HD DA 55-300mm 4.0-5.8 ED WR
Another fact would be the money, like i could purchase the Sigma 17-50 plus Pentax 55-300 for less than the Pentax 16-50 and around the same as for the Sigma 35.
My questions is, is it worth to spend the money on the Pentax 16-50 instead for the Sigma 17-50, which cost half price?
The Sigma 35mm is a hot shot , i read so far, but would it fit into my style of photos, is it an every day lens?
Any other suggestions, which would fit into this specifications, and price range maximum Pentax 16-50?
Best regards in advance
