It wasn't actually that important. My current main SLR is a Pentax MZ5 (ZX5 in the US). But if buying a basic Canon or Nikon would give me access to significantly better lenses, I would do that. I just don't have the means to test the differences between lenses from different brands, and my impression of "consumer" 28-80 zooms is that it's much of a muchness. But if a Pentax 100mm prime is much the same as a Canon or Nikon, I'd be better off spending the money on the lens than the camera. When scanned, frames from the 50mm prime lens are notieceably sharper than the AF zoom. I want to find out if a different brand of zoom (or prime) would make for a significant improvement. I don't have the sort of money to go for Zeiss lenses or that ilk, but it would be nice to use the sharpest lens I can actually afford. It's frustrating to see things fuzzy when scanned. Rob
