WHAT LENSE?

[CarpeNocturne]

I am new to photography and have a new Pentax Kx DSLR. I take concert shots at night clubs (usually small places) with stage lighting. I am usually 10 to (the furthest) 100 Feet away from the stage.

THE QUESTION: What can I use for a lense that will allow me to zoom in and capture semi low low to low light stage shots from that distance?

The Sob Story: I am not a professional. I am handicapped with a very tight budget so a $1,500 lense is out of the question. My shots only have to be web quality. Is there a such thing as a lense that can do what I need for under $200? The less costly the better.

I don't care about the brand name. I have no one to impress but myself and only want images I'll enjoy and will look decent in a online website or magazine.

Thanks Everyone!

You need a fast lens. I don't know about pentax lenses, but they're bound to have a prime lens somewhere in the 50mm range with a large maximum aperture. A fast zoom is not feasible in that price range, unless maybe there are some older zooms that are cheep to come by. Can't offer specific recommendations since I don't know pentax lenses.
