Well, my "expensive lens" is the FA 50mm f/1.7. But you're right, it will be a Pentax DSLR. Btw: did you saw the dpreview news? There is a new Sony camera, a prosumer with the new 10MP APS-C sized Sony sensor. That's the reason I don't know if I should wait or not (the sensor, not the camera). The problem is nobody seems to think we'll see a new DS with this sensor in spring (or am I wrong?). I could keep a 10MP camera 2-5 years, but I would be surprized to keep an *istDS more than 2. I'm a lousy photographer, so I need more pixels for croping ;) With the computers it's not exactly the same situation. I could upgrade it when necessary, add more RAM, a new hard drive, even change the mainboard&CPU (I'll have to do that someday in order to be able to use a PCI Express video card). With a camera, I don't have this option. -- Best regards, Alex Sarbu
