It's the lens I used every day until I got the DA* 60-250 for my dog
park work.
My only complaint was that it didn't focus as well at 250mm, because
it had gone to ƒ6.7. But that was overcome by using 400 and 800 ISO
when in shade or cloudy days.

The 18-250 is available in both Tamron and Pentax brands.
The only differences are look and probably in K-7 case, auto CA etc.
correction.
This zoom is also well known as being pretty damn good for what it is
(a do it all lens).

DA 18-250 — a little bigger, heavier, and you have to keep the
creep lock
locked until you up it to your face, but MUCH more versatile on the
wide end
(think 27mm vs 42mm)
