I have tested the DA16-85 as I own one, as others do as well, and it's a very, very good lens. Ample reviews to read...

Originally posted by elandel Hi all,
I own a Sony A6000 but want a dslr and, after lots of searching, reviews, thinking etc,, I'm leaning towards Pentax (which I already owned years ago - K5 -) because it's relatively small and 'tough'.
When choosing a dslr you always look at Canikon but after all Pentax is no slouch. Maybe less lens, it gepends on your use. I will use it for travel and landscapes or what is called 'general photography'.
I would like to have your experience on K3 - cheaper - and K3II more expensive at least here in Italy.
Can you help me choose among the two? And also suggest a general purpose zoom? Have the two cameras got any important issues?
Thanks.
First off, frankly, going Pentax is an excellent decision. The cameras are tough, capable and endearing. The K-3 family is an extremely capable camera, this in universally accepted. The main difference between the K-3 and the K-3II relates to on-board flash, astrotracer capabilities and pixel-shift. Otherwise, shooting will feel the same. Solid, sleek, just the right size, weather proofing and legacy lens availability make these cameras a "no regret" decision. Good luck in your quest.
