Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Hi all

A complete beginner here who hasn't even bought the camera yet!

After much umming and arring I think I have decided on buying a second-hand K30 or K50

I have very little experience, occasional use of a lovely Nikkormat in my youth and a little more recently (over 10 years ago) I had a Canon Rebel.

However Pentax seems to offer the best value for money and I preferred the Pentax images compared to Nikon in some comparisons I have seen.

Ultimately, I want to take great pictures of my children, especially in their chosen sports, gymnastics and pole vaulting, so I'm here to get advice on the camera and lenses I'll need.

Thanks
