In the end I got a Sigma 70-300mm as it was the same price as the pentax but the build quality was better. Plus the macro feature means I can explore macro without spending more money!
I've had the camera for less than a day now, but already love it!

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going into London tomorrow and will try lots of telephoto lenses out. However from what i've already seen, the older telephotos are bigger and heavier and I'm not the strongest person. But i'll obviously take test shots with all and compare.
I'm very excited about getting the camera.

I'm finally going to buy a K-x and I need a telephoto zoom lens for photos of subjects that are fairly far away (i'm going to be doing a zoology degree, so something to zoom in on animals in a zoo or in the wild).
I'd prefer to buy a second hand lens as I have limited funds, but so far searches on the web have proved a bit fruitless. Now i'm considering getting the twin lens set which comes with the kit lens and the Pentax SMC 55-300mm f4-5.8 DA-L ED Zoom Lens.
Is this lens worth the extra £150 i'd have to pay for this set or is there anywhere you can recommend in London or the south east to get a good telephoto lens?
Thanks in advance. :)
