The K-x comes with the 18-55mm lens as a kit. You cannot get body only here in SG. The Tamron 17-50 is a good lens.
Why not use the kit lens first and then upgrade to the Tamron later?
Good lens to match with K-X , i have it on my k-x . However , u can consider pentax 16-45mm, sigma 17-70mm too
The lens is sharp and nice color, no need to pp . At f2.8 is still quite sharp, it's much better than kit lens for sure . The range is a bit short , so u might need another lens to cover longer distance .
I actually have used the tamron 17-50 with canon 450D. I like the IQ and the focal length suits my needs. Just that I dont know whether the pentax mount has any issue with IQ and compaitability with the KX.

Given the 3 choices, which would you prefer? I have chosen these becos it suits my needs and my pocket as well;p
1)Tamron 17-50
2)DA 16-45
3)DA 17-70
I didn't know that sigma 17-70 has a pentax mount.. How is the IQ and how much is it?
BTW, Thanks for sharing guys!!
I choose tamron cos pentax price has been rising b4 i bought k-x :cry: .Take FA 50mm F1.4 as example....it was abt $350, now it's abt $498 -.- Da 16-45 is discontinued, but still a good lens. Since u got tamron on your canon , might as well try diff lens ? ;p
Sigma 17-70 and DA 17-70 covers the same range, from what i saw on web....the DA 17-70 colour is nicer, both are sharp. Sigma cost 560 from op , DA 17-70 abt 800+- i think .
