Hey guys After much deliberation I have decided to purchase the K100d. Despite all the glowing reviews, I cannot see enough benefit in the k10d for the extra 400 bucks given the kind of shooting I do.
Though a k10d purchase is in the pipeline once the price drops a bit ;) I am going to order a couple of lenses. Having used an M42 50/1.4 it is a lens I cannot live without. Low-light silver bullet. I saw the DA 40mm f/2.8 limited on sale also. I did a search in the archives here. It does not seem to be very liked by this group. For every excellent picture I've seen with this lens, there have also been plenty of crap pictures posted (flickr) and f/2.8 is pretty slow. What are the group's opinion on the lens? Like? Hate? Size is appealing of course but if the pictures will come out looking bad, then why bother? Instead of buying the two lenses, I can also get a 43mm/1.9. About the cost of both lenses put together, same-ish focal length and definitely 'fast'. They say this is THE lens to get, but I don't make purchase decisions based on a random comment posted on a random flickr photo. Some more help? I am ordering this weekend :) I really appreciate everything so far. Alex -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
