Thanks for everyones help. I was too tempted by the Tamron 28-75 because of the price. I ended up getting it for $240. I think this lens will make me happy. You guys did pretty much convince me to get the Pentax 50-200 for my next lens purchase though. And yes farfisa, I am keeping the kit lens.

Thanks a lot for the input. I don't find myself needing to zoom out tat far a lot. Most of my shooting is fairly close or indoors. I figured a lens with around 75mm would be a decent amount of zoom for me. I considered getting a 50-200 or a 70-300 but I felt like the wide end of those lenses wouldn't be wide enough for normal shooting.

Thanks for the input. I definitely want the versatility of having a zoom lens. I don't use the wind end of the kit lens that much which is why I am fine with the 28mm of the tamron. Forgot that he tamron was a constant 2.8, I do like that. The Pentax 18-250 is a little out of my price range. I'm really considering the tamron now.

Hey everybody. I've had my K100D for a almost 2 years now and I've basically just had the kit lens to shoot with. I recently picked up a M 50 1.7 which is great but I'm looking for a high quality auto focus lens to replace the kit lens. I've been looking at the Sigma 17-70/2.8-4 and the Tamron 28-75/2.8 XR Di. I'm really just looking for a nice all around type lens. Both seem like great lenses but I'm leaning towards the Tamron since I found a much better deal for it.

Thanks everyone. I'm still playing around with the lighting. The setup I used was just the backside of a big poster and a flexible low wattage desk lamp.

Thanks for the great comments. I had a feeling people would like #8 the most, I liked it the best too. And yes, all the pictures were taken with the kit lens, only post processing done was change the levels on some a little and crop & resize.
