Best travel lens for the pentax kf?

For travel on the KF, I'd start with the Pentax HD DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR. It covers about 24-128mm on full frame, which handles most of a travel day, and it's weather sealed for rain or sand.

If you want more reach for markets and street details, the [Pentax smc DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR](/gear/lenses/pentax-smc-da-18-135mm-f-3-5-5-6-ed-al-if-dc-wr/) stretches to roughly 27-202mm on full frame and is also weather sealed.

For evenings and food, pair either zoom with the Pentax HD DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited, which is about 52mm on full frame. It's a classic second lens for a travel kit.

Before you buy, check what matters in a travel camera, especially weight with the lens attached.
