Ouch. Was it defective? Or just not as good as you had hoped? If this ad had been posted three weeks before: K10D / $400 50-135 / $530 Tamron 1.4x teleconverter / $70 fastpack 350 / $70 whole thing for $1000, I probably would have gotten it rather than the K20, and used the K10 as a stop gap until I found out what Pentax has up its sleeve. But right now, I really can't do it. Oh well. I even resisted bidding on the Tamron 24mm/2.5 I saw on ebay that ended up not getting any bids. When I refrain from buying an interesting lens for under $100, then you know times are tight. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
