I have the Pentax 18-250mm and I'm pretty happy with it. Lens has a 'ton' of creep but I got used to it. Here are some pics from Chicago and Chicago area.

Those are some GORGEOUS photos! You really have "a photographer's eye!"

However, I just did a little checking, and that 18-250 lens is not only no longer listed on Pentax's product page, I couldn't even find one for sale NEW, anywhere (I didn't do a REALLY comprehensive search, BUT even on eBay, the only one available was USED). Sigma DOES have what appears to be a comparable lens for about $480, but I have no idea how good it is -- just saw it at "the jungle" when I was looking for your lens.

At any rate, I can certainly appreciate the desire to have a lens that will zoom all the way from a reasonably wide angle all the way to a pretty far telephoto (375mm equivalent, in this case).
