5 Tamron 70-200 f2.8 is coming up end of this year and so is the sigma 70-200 f2.8
6. A short tele: pentax da* 50-135 f2.8
7. Last but not the least, sigma 50-500 is available for pentax mounts too.

Unless you are into serious birding and sports photography, there is no need to wipe out the pentax K10D completely.
I am not into birding but a fast tele will help with school sports and the occasional trip to a sanctuary or a zoo (not the Mumbai zoo).

of the lot you have listed above the f2.8 tamron or sigma look very interesting as does the 50-500! any idea of the prices on these lenses?

the pentax 50-135 is not long enough and $1000 to boot.
