I really like my 16-45 and 28 105 also. Great combo.

Dave, i have the SB80DX which is supposed to be Nikons bee's knees as far as
flash. I to
have to
fumble with exposure, so its not just a Pentax thing. Although with the Sigma

still have
to do a lot of playing aswell. I think its just dslr nature.
