This is valid argument. However, I cannot spend both time and effort, *and* the money each time there is a change of format that requires all my lenses and bodies to be replaced. In fact, given the mount compatibility of Pentax, it is only natural to try to stick to those lenses that are proven and do work. > As for the decision to make the DA lens plunge, my favorite enablement > mantra goes, "He who dies with the most money....is still dead".

I tend to plan carefully and to spend money with a certain degree of reluctance or greediness if you will. For example, I'd have to sell certain lenses in order to buy either FA 20/2.8 or some other lens. It is unfortunate, that DA 18-250 (according to Tamron 18-250 reviews, including that on www.photozone.de) has rather serious distortion on the wide end. But life is never easy, is it? -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
