I doubt it. I have the 80-200 and 35-70 f2.8 that i bought used for $900. 00 and $700.00 Canadian, respectivley. These two seem to be well represented on ebay and store websites. Even the new versions are a few hundred less thansay a Pentax 80-200 f2.8. Only thing is when shooting towards the sun. I have noticed the Nikons perform poorer than the Pentax zooms. > What about third party lenses, is there a difference in >price between third party lens for Nikon and > for Pentax ? >From what i have seen,about the same. > > The only problem with D70 is small viewfinder, can this be fixed somehow ? Buy a Chev(LOL)I have not had the pleasure of looking at the D70 so no comment. I have heard a few comments from the Nikon BB's i frequent,that it has backfocus problems as did the D1. > > I guess EOS-10D still don't have this price so it can't be compared here. 20D is out now. Supposed to have some improvments over the 10D.
