In my experience the most expensive experience comes the first time you get your hands on a better car/lens/whatever. The most expensive lens purchase I ever made was my first piece of good glass. Not because the lens itself was very expensive, but because it showed me that on some occasions I was limited by the equipment I was using. This started me on the slippery slope to ever more expensive lenses. -- 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.
