Does it really make sense to sell? Many old toppies here thought of
downsizing but found the smaller houses cost nearly as much as their larger
ones. Unless they want to up-size or re-locate?

Obviously very good optics. So is the EXIF corrected to f5.6?
I'd like to see a shot with the 60-250 at 250mm which would be 350mm at
f5.6.

Without a side by side comparison I wouldn't say my 16-50 mm f2.8 D* is
significantly slower than any of my screw drive lenses. Seems noticeably
faster - and definitely quieter.

I'm thinking of trying to pick up a K5IIs to replace my K5 as I still
prefer the dynamics and noise characteristics of the K5 sensor over
the K3. I shot a show Sunday night 1600+ shots using both the K5 and
K3 set at ISO6400 in both cases. The K5 shots look best (when I could
achieve focus)

The 17-70/4 that Pentax loaned me earlier this year was very fast to lock on

Paul,
The sign could be impressive, but I haven't any settings, size or distance info.
Would be interested in an f/8ish, solidly rested shot of something fairly
intricate, such as the sign.
Does the sign shot qualify?

Well, the DA* 50-135mm SDM is probably the slowest AF lens on Earth, gaining
it the nickname of "the sloth". Generally speaking, SDM lenses are slower
than both screw-driven ad DC Pentax AF lenses, so the DA 17-70mm is a good
candidate for being another slow-AF lens. However, I own it and I don'
