A quick gear roll call for my K-5 as at 10 April 2011.
Overall, the gear covers from 8mm to 300mm, except 17mm and 55-70mm. In equivalent term: 12mm to 456mm, except 26mm and 84mm-106mm. Or in PnS term: 37.5X zoom gear.
There are 3 zooms and 2 primes. The heaviest is 555g (Sigma) and lightest is 215g (35mm ltd). The Tamron SP 90mm has the heaviest working weight due to 2x teleconverter and Adaptall2-PK/A adapter.

The ultra wide angle! I wanted to step into ultra wide photography with my MFT set but the Panasonic 7-14mm was way too expensive which makes me concerned regarding the wide-open front element.
The Sigma 8-16 is wider (but smaller aperture) and half the price of the Panny! It makes me less (though still) concerned about the front element.
This lens does not take filter so I'll have to use my handiness to work out a way to use an ND filter on it. Stay tuned! :D
