Hi all, Thanks very much for your response. I am astonished and grateful for it. Reading your discussions will take me further step by step as well. And in case I should get that far as you guys already are I will be glad to be there for a beginner just like me now. @ Erik + @ graywolf (Tom Rittenhouse) [Erik] ....I agree with the post by Tom Rittenhouse. I know that you get eager to spend some money just because it's fun...... [Tom] ......Go out and shoot pictures. Read a couple of books. We on this list can help you decide which lens is best for your purpose, but we can not decide what your purpose is for you. You have to find that out for yourself. You need some experience to do that. [Erik] .......Who knows, maybe one day you will be world famous for winning the Hasselblad Prize after 30 years of photography with only a K2 and a 55 mm lens? Thank you again for your advice. And you are completely right. There is no reason to get so much equipment at once. I am going to do it step by step. It is probably the enthusiasm thing to get it all together (but the prices are very interesting anyway). But I don't think that I am going to keep that way for 30 years. I am much to much amazed of the insect pictures:)) Great photographer and great photos. But I have got 15 years time, haven't I ?!:)
@ Kristian-H. Schuessler (English & German) ..... have and use more than six bodies PENTAX K-2 and K-2 DMD, but if one of them is now out of order, their is no more official possibility to get them repaired by PENTAX/Hamburg. Thank you for your information. I didn't know that it would be a problem to get it repaired in case the camera should break somehow. There is another option to get a MZ 5 N. Probably a better idea in this case. But you don't tell us, which sort of photography you like to do? People, portrait, reportage, landscapes, art, reprography, ... That is very important in order to answer any of your qestions ! ??? I am mainly interested in animals and landscapes and I did already a couple of nice pictures with my pocket camera. But the person who introduced me to the K 2 and the MZ 5 N has shown me how nice also pictures of people can be. Right now I am most interested in learning how to take those pictures. But I am open for everything at any time. @ Frank Theriault ...... The type of pictures you want to take will dictate what you need. Exactly. Time will show. But Thanks very much for your kind help. regards Silke - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
