Best travel lens for the pentax k 70?

The K-70 has in-body stabilisation, so you can shoot dim churches and markets handheld. For one lens that covers most travel pictures, I'd start with the Pentax HD DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR. It runs from wide to short telephoto (about 24-128mm on full frame) and is weather-sealed, which helps on a trip where the weather turns.

If you'd rather have a little less reach for a smaller, simpler zoom, the [Pentax smc DA 17-70mm f/4 AL [IF] SDM](/gear/lenses/pentax-smc-da-17-70mm-f-4-al-if-sdm/) covers about 26-105mm on full frame.

For evenings and food, I'd add the Pentax HD DA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited. It's a small prime, about 32mm on full frame. See travel for the rest of the kit.
