I do plan to get a 28mm eventually. The reason I want a telephoto first is there are some pictures that I would like to take from the side of the road. I would really hate to get arrested for trespassing. :-) BTW, I see that keh has some very nice prices, but that they say a lense in excellent condition may have some dust. Is this normal? Will it affect the picture quality any?

Welcome to the madness that is this list. :) I bought a Sears 80-200/4 from a friend for $20, it's not been bad for such a cheap lens. Local shops seem to have the same lens around $40-$50. If you want something likely better, check out the SMC Pentax-A 70-210/4. If you'd rather have some primes, look into a 100mm or 135mm and 200mm. I bought from a list member a SMC Pentax-M 135/3.5 that I've lately considered selling, though it has a couple minor issues. It only focuses out to about 75-100 feet and the hood tends to not stay put. These are probably fixable... the hood is no big deal, and I only noticed the focus issue when taking pictures of boats out on the water. Pick up a 28mm or so wide angle if you come across one. I have a SMC Pentax-M 28/3.5 I've been very happy with. I've found wide angle lenses to be more fun than telephoto. -Jon Myers. --- Isaac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all.
