Good lenses = better sharpness, colour rendition, low distortion, sharper at full aperture. Good camera = high speed (AF, write speed, FPS)

I often hear myself say: I never know what the pictures may be used for later ...

But also, as to the lenses, they have big fast glass because they'll be used to shoot concerts and sports as well as the event you were at. -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
