First of all, thanks for the awesome help.
Of course your help leads me to having other questions:
Are the Sears K Mount lenses worth buying? Were they made by Pentax? Specifically the 135mm 2.8?
Are there any 3rd party lens manufacturers that you can recomend 100%? And any to totally avoid?
Any recomendations for a usable and affordable flash?
To answer Norm's questions
1) What's your price range?
Hmmm...trying to keep it pretty cheap. I'd like to make out under $400 for everything including tripod, case, etc.
2) Are you concerned about weight?
I'll be driving mostly, but maybe doing some light backpacking and day trips. So not terribly concerned, but also I would rather not be totally weight down.
Again, thanks a million. Everybody had something useful to say. I do appreciate it.
Paul
