I'm so weak...

kribuLooks like the Pentax 18-250mm lens has made its way to our stores today, so my finger seems to have slipped and hit the ordering button... *sighs*
Well. I was planning to buy the Tamron version of that lens at some point anyway, as having an universal zoom for travelling and such would be nice, and the Tamron is 1000 kr / €70 more expensive. So I have my justification there... on the other hand, even the Pentax is still 8000 kr / €510, so it's not that cheap. And it's relatively dark, so I'm hoping that won't be too much of a problem in the winter... on the other hand, it would be awfully nice to have more reach when going to London, and I was not going to drag a selection of lenses with me anyway. And I shouldn't be losing more than a stop compared to the Sigma 17-70mm, as far as light goes. And if I already am to buy a travel lens, it might make sense to get it before, like, travelling!
Damn, this is going to be one expensive extended weekend trip. ;-)
