It's been a while since I posted here but I do have a dilemma: how to find the "missing link" for those lenses:

1. Sigma 10-20mm
2. Pentax DA*16-50 SDM
3. Pentax FA 50mm f1.4
4. Pentax DA 18-250mm zoom

I am considering changing (selling) my 18-250mm and switch to either:
Pentax DA*60-250 or right into a fixed DA*300mm (when available); problem is, I still would have a gap to fill if I ever go with the fixed 300mm.

I do lots of landscape and other outdoors photography (which the DA*16-50 acomplishes marvellously) but I would also like to be able to get into wildlife photo, which requires very good glass, and a long focal.
Is anyone aware whether this upcoming DA*60-250 would fit the criteria and if there are any recent tests on this particular lens?

Any suggestions?
