Hey all, just generally looking for a bit of advice, recently won a Samsung GX-10 (rebadged k10D) and got a bit of cash after selling my D40 so I'm after some new lenses.
Was originally going to get a Pentax 10-17mm fisheye for it but didn't fancy going £240+ for it on ebay . So I'm now torn between either a 'Sigma MACRO 50mm F2.8 EX DG' or a 'Tamron 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2' , I'm swaying towards the Tamron Macro at the mo because I really do like Macro pictures and would love to have a dabble in it with a decent lens instead of those cheap screw on macro adapters. But on the other hand I'd wouldn't mind having a something with some extra reach and the Sigma is quite a bit cheaper.
I mostly shoot sports and mountain biking in dimly lit forests so I'm thinking a prime lens wouldn't go a miss either but the only one I can realistically afford is the 'Pentax SMC 50mm f1.4' and I'm just wondering would the 1.4 stop be much faster than the 3.5 on the kit lens?
Thanks
