Good to know your new DA* 50-135 performs well. I almost pulled the trigger on one the other day, then daughter number two needed a cash infusion. It will have to wait a bit.
I too am impressed with the K20D. I just wanted to better my backup, which was an *istd, but the K20D has outperformed my expectations. Pentax continues to develop innovative products. Let's hope they can keep the quality control in place. The first few buyers shouldn't have to suffer.
