Well, just been to another shop (with my camera) closer to home and tried Sigma 70-300mm APO DG and Pentax DA 55-300mm ED WR
Speaking to the manager/owner, i was surprised that he recommended the sigma over the other the almost £150 more pentax lens
is the Pentax DA 55-300mm ED the same as the WR (apart from the obvious)
I am leaning towards to pentax

hi all
I am completely new to pentax camera's and I have a K500 (bought accidentally, wanted k5 for the WR, but never mind) and still a real beginner with DSLR
Anyway, I have been looking at a few lenses, as I am into bird watching and also motorsport and other sports, so need something with some range. (did have a canon DSLR and a 200mm lens which wasn't long enough)
I have a budget of £250, might be able to squeeze to £350, but that would be a real push.
I have got my eye on - Sigma 28-300mm DG Macro F3.5-6.3DG
- Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG MACRO
- PENTAX SMC DA 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED
Would anyone recommend any of these, or recommend others? I need something with a bit of range
thanks
