You know you probably could have gotten back to basics with a nice
subset of the equipment you already owned. I use the Pentax Ds, A-24
f2.8, Fa 43mm and M 85 f2.0 exactly that way. (I'd use a 35mm f2.0
instead of the 43mm but I like a longish normal).

I am cameraless now as I sold all my Pentax stuff this AM at another
camera store. KEH was there buying, buying, buying! And lots of folks
were selling, selling, selling! :-)
I am probably going to get this camera with the 17mm lens. I probably
will wait awhile before getting other lenses until Oly comes out with
other single focal length primes. Ultimately I am looking for a basic
three lens kit, WA, Std, and medium tele.
I told the KEH guy that I had been doing this photo stuff for over 55
years now and was getting tired of keeping up with all the gear.
Nowadays I shoot for the web or for the wife. All she needs are 4x6
prints. Getting back to simple!
