This whole argument is seriously flawed because it assumes that a buyer would return to the the same vendor who sold the the kit when buying extra lenses later or even at the same time of initial purchase. jco

I'll bet its the same pretty much everywhere. I know of at least 7 people personally in my area with DSLRs, only 1 of them has more than two lenses and one has two. The rest all have 1 lens. The person with more than two is a pdml subscriber so I met him through the list, therefore he almost doesnt count in this quick survey. Most of these people I know bought the camera with a kit lens or bought their own higher end zoom. rg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Adam Maas" > Subject: Re: Luminous Landscape: Reichmann tries out a K10D > > > >>That's certainly the case with most buyers of base-model DSLR's, just >>like it was for base model SLR's back in the days of film.

Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older."
