Hey!

I've got my K10D on the way and I'm looking for a starter lens to play with-- while I've got a load of manual lenses, I think it might be a good idea to keep a basic (Pentax DA 50-200mm, 18-250mm maybe?) automatic lens on hand.

I'm checking with you guys because I'm a student and just about had a heart attack looking at the prices for the hunks of glass at my local Henry's, ergo the cheaper the better!

Show me what you got!

Thanks!!

*edit* Found an 18-55mm

I have two lenses that are great starter lenses that you may be interested in, including the DA 18-55mm:

Bump

Looking for a short lens (18~55 maybe?) in Toronto-- it looks like shipping up from the 'states kills a good deal

I have a Sigma 17-70mm zoom for sale here.

Shipping will only be $10 USD from me for the 18-55mm lens if you pay with an International Money Order.

Oops! I almost forgot about this thread-- I've found a 18-55mm II. Now looking for a longer lens.

I have a Sigma DC 55-200mm f/4-5.6 for $100 plus shipping. It's never been taken out of the house.

I bought this on the Forum from Cambridge for $100. Since then, I've decided that I really want something longer. You can have it for $100 plus actual shipping.

This lens can hardly be told from new. I mounted it on my K10D and *ist-DS bodies and took a few test shots, then put it back in its original box.
