That is true, in that case. There is also no need to duplicate lens collections. My point was that if there is a lens that Nikon makes, say a 24-105 f/2.8, or an 80-200 f/2.8 that Pentax doesn't, and you need that lens, then rather than giving up on Pentax, buy that lens, and a body to use it with. You don't need every lens for that body, you just need a body for the lenses that you have. Again, I was also talking more in the context of a professional photographer. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
