Thanks for all of the help. So I'm guessing the Pentax 12mm-24mm f4 at ISO 800 should produce good aural images?

I am buying a k-5 and am trying to pick a good WA lense and I want to make sure that I get one for shooting the aura borealis. I'm not shooting it till next fall but I want a good WA lense now and I'm trying to plan ahead.
I was going to get the Pentax DA 12-24 f4 but I've read that for the aura you don't want anything slower than a f2.8. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience shooting the aura borealis and what lense do you use?

Wow! That was fast! I wasnt expecting so many replies so quick. Photographers surely are a passionate bunch lol. I will definitely start with the 18-250 Lens until I figure out what focal lengths I like to photograph at and then get some higher quality primes. That's great advice. As for the 12-24 for landscapes is that a lens you would reccomend or is there a better one? If I were to splurge on a lens it would definitely be the one for landscapes because that is the type of photography I enjoy looking at the most and i am going on a 2 week trip to iceland and it is all about the landscapes. I really appreciate all of the help. There is definitely a lot more to this than I was expecting but that's OK because I love a challenge!

I am completely new to photography and after extensive research decided to purchase the Pentax K-5 for my first camera. I plan on using it for travel first and foremost with a focus on landscapes/nature and of course for all other forms travel photography so my question is this. What lenses do I need? I have decided on the 12mm-24mm lens for landscape but I don't know what I should get for the rest. Help!
