What percentage of people who buy entry level DSLRs own lenses over 200mm? For that matter, what percentage buy any lenses other than the 18-55 (or thereabouts) kit lens that the camera comes with? This camera isn't supposed to be the be all end all camera for everyone that takes photos. In most conditions that most people who buy one will use it, it should have performance on par with just about every APS sensor camera with a list price something like $500 less than the D7000 or K-5. -- 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.
