Maybe because the K100D has a pentaMIRROR and the ones you were looking at have a pentaPRISM. I noticed that Larry's K-x was rather dark/muddy compared with the K-5; guessed it was the KatzEye, but Larry said it was pentamirror vs pentaprism. You'll definitely need a body upgrade if that's the issue: as others said, a used K-5, K-7, or K-30 would give you significant improvements. (Go for the K-5 unless you're on a really tight budget.) keh.com has several -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- 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.
