Hi
If you don't want to spend a lot of money and keep it lightweight. I would suggest the good old Tamron 17-50 2,8 without VC. It is my walk around lens on my K10 and KX. It is v. sharp at every aperture and the macro function gives you good results, much better then some of the Sigma macros I had and certainly the best zoom I `ve ever used. An another idea would be the Tamron 28-70 2,8 with an equally good reputation, but I ve never used it myself.
Kind Regards

The two samples I tried in Canon trim were indeed sharp but had slow and noisy AF, especially when light levels were low. How was yours?
