Hi everyone, let me annoy you one last time with my questions :asleep: It's five in the morning and I'm still googling my lenses... and yes - my wife hates me... she threatened divorce if she hears the word 'lense' ever again.
I'll admit I mostly ignored Steve's post initially as I was so focused on the 35 and 50 primes, but after two sleepless nights I'm starting to think I might not even need the 18-135 and should get the Sigma 17-70 c and the DA 50/1.8. I can always get a tele zoom later if I feel that I need it...
Steve - is this Sigma better in low lighting than the kit 18-135 would you know and are either of these two ok for occasional video?
Thanks,
Dan

18-135 is sold in a bundle with a camera at a substantial discount, and as most commenters agree - I'll grab the 50 1.8. and 35 2.4 with it aswell. I think I'll stick with pentax lenses this time for my primes, they are within my budget and I dont think I'd like manual focusing, just not yet. But thanks a lot for mentioning the alternatives.

Hi All,
I am realitavely new to photography and am about to order my K-3, only thing left to make my mind on is lenses. There will be 2 main types of photos I am going to take:
1. Portraits of my own kid and friends kids from 1-2 meters away - i'd like a good Bokeh, keep it under 250 USD if possible, maybe smc DA 35mm F2.4 AL?
2. Family portraits from 3-4 meters away. maybe smc DA 50mm F1.8, i'l love f1.4 but its expensive.
Maybe there are better alternatives for what I am trying to do, please help. I'l love to get couple good primes for under 500-700 USD
3. Visits to the park, my kids play around with dog etc, random stuff really, so I'm thinking 18-135 kit zoom lens would be grand for that, o maybe if I own two smaller focal lenght primes at that stage I should just go for the cheaper kit with 50-200? Is 50-200 just as good at the 50-135 range as the 18-135?
Thanks in advance to all having patience and willing to help :D
Can't wait to get my new K-3 and start shooting.
