I am sorry for taking so long to reply and I am extremely thankfull to all of you for giving me advice.
My sister gave me some money and I manage to save up for an M 50 F1.7 and an HD 55-300. I am EXTREMELY happy with both of them! I have taken some pictures of a course I was teaching with the M 50 and the results are amazing; even for an untrained eye that cannot manually focus properly. You can see some pictures here: www.flickr.com/kurt_ek
Haven't had the chance to use the 55-300 properly yet, but I love how it handles and feels =]
I still owe you guys some 3d printing pictures. There are some in my Flickr page, but not nearly enough. I'll post about them in due time =]
Again, thank you all very much =]
P.S. I also wanted to let you know I started a photography course in Coursera (link here). You can take the courses for free (which is what I'm doing) or pay for them and have a verified certificate.

I had not seen this lens... Looks pretty awesome and just the thing I would need for my 3d printer =] Thank you very much!
True, I have the 50mm Focal Length covered, but wouldn't the 50mm F/1.8 help because of the low light situations and/or better sharpness? I'm getting more and more inclined for the 55-300....

Hi all!
I bought my first DSLR camera a little over a month ago. It's a K-50 with a kit 18-55 lens. I'm really loving the lens, but I'm looking into new lenses. I'm extremely new at photography and, tho I've read a lot of the theory, I'm still struggling with a lot of issues.
The main reason I bought the camera (or so I told myself) is to take pictures of my 3d printer and my 3d printed parts (I own a little 3d print shop in Guatemala =] ). However I really like to take far away photos and I've noticed that I mostly use my lens at the 55mm focal length mark.
I have a couple of questions and I thought I could ask you guys and girls:
1) I have read the reviews and scores of the DA 50-200 and the DA L 50-200 and I wonder why their scores are so different. I understand that they have the same optical characteristics. Also, would any of those or the HD 55-300 be better at 50/55mm respectively? I like the zoom, but I wonder if they are any good wide open just in case I want to take portraits and such.
2) I'm stuck between choices. Since I do want to take pictures in low light conditions I'm looking into the DA 50mm F/1.8. However I'm also looking into the HD 55-300 and the DA 50-200 (or DA L, whichever you recommend) because I usually find myself trying to zoom in further and I also want to be able to take pictures of nature and wildlife. So really my question is which lens would you recommend for a total newbie: the DA 50mm F/1.8, the HD 55-300 or the DA 50-200?
Thank you all for your time reading and answering my newbie questions. :)
P.S. I leave a link to my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kurt_ek/ Some pics are taken with my phone so please excuse the quality. The ones taken with my camera are also not very good, but that's because of the photographer :)

I don't think you'd like to eat me anyway... Too much fat... not healthy lol
I don't go out much because of all the work I do, but I'll take as many pictures as I can and post them =]

Well I just wanted to say hello!
I recently bought my K-50 (Early November) and have enjoyed it very much. Everyone seems to be extremely kind in here and I just really love that about this forum =]
Here to stay! And a eager-to-learn brand new Pentaxian :D
