Earlier upthread I said: "Realistically, you probably need to commit to spending nearly 10K to get a decent compliment of lenses for the D800 and the computer upgrade you will have to have, as well." David's 5 lenses total about $7800 (B&H prices) so it looks like my ballpark estimate (including computer/storage upgrades) was pretty close. With the D800/E body at $3K you are looking at $11K outlay. Now assuming you are a Pentaxian with a complement of full frame lenses already at your disposal, I would say that a Pentax full frame body that comes in with a $2500-3000 price tag would be a relative bargain, compared to dumping everything and going Nikon to get your full frame fix. In fact, you'd have a relative savings of $7800+ to rationalize buying a few of the FA Limiteds that you don't already have. All of this is assuming that the Pentax full frame will perform comparably to the Nikons, which remains to be seen. But for that much money, I can afford to be quite content for QUITE a while. -- 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.
