Kerrie.....I've got mixed thoughts on this...as I was a dedicated Pentax user for over 30 years.
To this day, older Pentax/Takumar lenses (I still have a swag of them...and they can be picked up very cheaply on E-Bay or occasionally at Cash Converters) are simply beautiful pieces of glass and easily hold their own with any Nikon or Canon L-series lenses (L=Luxury=$$$$)
Sadly Pentax has not really addressed noise reduction very well. You would do much better to look at Canon.
