Thanks, Ted. I never thought a woman could love a wide lens as much as I
love my 21 mm :-). I love the color, texture, and black and white rendering
of this lens. I remember when I bought it, the sales guy was looking it over
and remarked on the attention to detail in craftsmanship. It's so elegantly
made--I mean, a faux velvet lined lens cap? Who would have thought. And
you can screw in a polarizer inside the lens hood--clever design. I liked
the 21mm on the K20D as well, but I'm not sure I liked the 40mm on the K20D;
I thought there was some focusing fussiness, but the 40mm on the K7? Well, I
love it! focusing fussiness seems to have disappeared.
I've decided that here's my dream Pentax kit (per pentax webstore prices):
-K5 ($1600) & K7
-battery grip for both cameras ($460)
-DA* 55mm f1.4 ($800)
-DA* 300mm f 4 ($1,400)
-The 21mm f3.2
-The 40mm f2.8
-DA 16-45mm f4
-DA* 50-135mm f2.8
-both flashes: 360, 540 ($500)
-the Optio W90 in green ($280)
-a big maybe the 70mm f2.4 ($700)
-a big maybe on the 12-24mm f4 ($900)
Total: $6,640
But if I skip the two big maybes, then it's $5,040. Quite doable wouldn't
you say :-) ?
Oh, then, of course, there's the medium format D645 with a few lenses as
well. But I'll leave that for another day.
I'd probably need a better camera bag too :-).
Cheers, Christine from Chicago

Very nice. Do you love your 21 as much as I love mine?
