Thank-you all for the warm welcome, sorry I have not replied sooner...
So, my latest Ireland adventure chapter is closed and I need to pay for it and plan for the next adventure.
I am still unhappy with my 18-55 kit lens and am itching for an upgrade. I am also very, VERY tempted by the great deals being offered by B&H on the K-3 with grip and flash. My worries revolve around buying from the USA whilst living in Canada and any potential warranty issues.
As for lenses, this is what I have concluded by the reviews here and elsewhere...
- The Sigma 17-70 'C' seems a really good kit lens replacement and everyday lens.
- The Sigma 35 F1.4 would make a great, fast, prime addition.
The bugaboo to the above was today's announced release of the Sigma 18-35 F1.4 Art later this month for Pentax mount....Damn!! Now what to do??
On the longer side, I plan to look for a bargain on:
- Pentax DA* 60-250 F4 or,
- Sigma 70-200 F2.8
BTW, as for shooting style, I like...
landscape, night and would like to explore street
Thanks again for all your advice,
Kelly

It's a rather 'cheesy' name and I have to say I was quite surprised myself it was not taken yet...
