I really don't agree that you should buy only Pentax lenses. Yes, You can't go WRONG with most of the Pentax lenses out there but some of my favourite lenses are not Pentax Lenses at all. And, I would add, that in many cases they are as good or better than the equivalent Pentax offering. Once again, I maintain that it is not the lenses that make the difference but the photographer and his or her technique. I'm not sugggesting you go out and buy the cheapest lenses you can find, but don't limit yourself to Pentax lenses. If you see a good used lens that is not a Pentax brand, ask the PDML about it. But remember, most of us are extremely biased toward Pentax lenses. Non Pentax Lenses I own that I am very happy with are Tokina ATX 100-300 F4 Tokina ATX 90 F2.5 macro Tokina ATX 28-70 2.6-2.8 Kiron 105 2.5 macro Kiron 28-105 There are a few others....
