Heh I understand well enough, I'd do the same but of course I'm mostly interested in tge DA 16-45, A50/1.7 and Remote F. Of course I'd perfectly understand if you prefer keeping K100D and 16-46 together. Maybe we should wait a bit and see if somebody else is interested in the K100D ? --

I dont know how it would compare with the K35, but with the K35 on the DSLR, you would have to use the green button, which is not a problem for me, might be for others. With the A35, you can set the aperture on the body and it does full time AE metering, no green button necessary. rg [EMAIL

Yes, I understand about the GB Kludge. I have, and am happy with, the K35/2.0, however, the convenience and features of the A lens has led me to ask the question. If the A isn't markedly superior to the K, then I'd not be too interested in it, and would ultimately consider an FA35/2.0. Shel

Hey, when I was growing up we did not even use the phone to call our neighbors, it was cheaper to walk down the street. A local phone call cost a dime for 3 minutes, didn't matter if it was your phone or a pay phone. 10 cents please. BTW, that dime would buy a cup of coffee or a bottle of Coke
