I like those a lot - they're very interesting indeed. I also particularly like a couple of the shots taken from the road, with motion blur - Ghost in the Bush, and Along the Way. They remind rather of some of the photos in Winterreise, by Luc Delahaye - one of my favourite photo books. I like

The 50-200 is an example of the F5.6 consumer zooms that I referenced in my original post. I think that many of us here wish that Pentax had put out a 50-200 F4 to match that 16-45 F4 rather than the 50-200 F5.6 that matches the 18-55 kit lens. Paul, Paul Stenquist wrote: Pentax now offers
