“Rule of 500” is for full frame, APS-C is more a “rule of 300” ;)

Hi Don, welcome to the Pentax Forum! :)
When you mention wildlife, action, birds in flight and motorsport, I can think of only one lens: the 55-300mm PLM, lightweight, fast autofocus, good IQ check out the reviews here: HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE Reviews - DA Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
Pictures taken with the 55-300mm PLM: HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE - Show us what it can do, what it CAN'T! - PentaxForums.com
SRS Microsystems has it for 369£, you get a 45£ discount until beginning of August: Pentax HD Pentax DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE Lens - Pentax Lenses - Lenses
For astrophotography, consider some of the older A/M/K manual lenses, the lens review section is a must read if you're looking for some older glass: Pentax Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
A couple of lenses to consider for astrophotography/landscape could be the DA 35mm f2.4 or the DA 50mm f1.8, they are both offer good value for money (110/115£ at SRS Microsystems)
The DA18-135WR is also a lens to consider, DA 18-135 WR, Show us what it can do - PentaxForums.com
Apart from the DA35 I have them all in my bag next to my K-70.
SRS Microsystems also offers refurbished/used lenses: Used Pentax Fit Camera Lenses | SRS Microsystems |
