Dear Patrick After managing with my Sigma 12-24 for the wide angle shots, I eventually bought a new 18-55mm. It's light, easy to use and takes great shots.
I hesitated on the 16-45mm like you are on the new 16-50. The clinching argument was the 6 fold increase in price £300+versus £50. I dread to think of the multiple on the new lens! I f I win the Lottery, I'll buy the new lens and sell the old one on Ebay or, more likely, keep it as backup Hope this helps Peter On 9/25/06, Patrick Genovese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm considering whether or not to get a DA 18-55 as a Kit with a K10D > (my dealer gave me a very reasonable price for a kit) ?
