Cheap silver snapshot lenses - AF 35-80 / 80-200 for K10D - any good ?

[paul'dee'dowling]

Post Sony A290/A35 , I am reviving my K10d bought to use a manual lens [ 50 f1.8 KM ] as my Leica Digilux 3 has an MD mount jammed in place !!

With the A290 I use a 1997 35-80 silver Minolta kit lens because the nom 52-120 is perfect for me ,plus a Sony 80-20 / 50- f1.8.

I can't afford decent lenses for the K10d but the silver Pentax 35-80 and 80-200 kit lenses seem really cheap. But are they any good as a means to revive the K10d ?

I have an M8 with CV 35 f2.5 colour scopar and J2 for more serious intent , so the K10d will just be a a snapshooting camera of basic quality .

Thanks
