A $75 used (and, hell, $300 new) Tamron 28-75 lens negates that discussion. Pretty darned good glass for fractions of what a Pentax equivalent would cost. No - wait - there *is* no Pentax equivalent! I like the interface and attitude of the Pentax family of cameras, but the lens costs are completely out of this world these days. Unless a person has a bottomless wallet, it is a difficult choice to say "I'm going to be 'Pentax or Nothing'" for my gear. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
