Jaume, Lens ecosystem is important to us lot, infected with LBA as we are, but for the majority of users it's irrelevant because they'll only use the kit zoom, and maybe the kit telephoto zoom; all other possible lenses are irrelevant. They will choose based on marketing and whatever the store clerk tells them. And what the store clerk recommends is going to be based (most of the time) on marketing too, but marketing directed at him/her by the camera company sales rep. --M. -- \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- 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.
