Mark makes a good point. I have just bought a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 which is supposed to be quite a performer. This lens cost me all of 300 bucks mint unused. The effective focal length on the D60? 136mm f1.8! Could be my latest and greatest portrait lens. Okay, it's no A*135mm f/1.8, but it's also nearly a grand less in price though. Anyone with a Pentax 15mm 3.5 or 85 1.4, hold onto those if you're deciding about digital and Pentax still. You'll need the 15mm without a doubt. If Pentax do change the mount, and therefore the lens system, who's to say they won;t provide an adapter for (even manual focus) of all those legendary lenses? Still watching this one folks.
