You might want to add up the $$$ once you invest in a few more lenses. I remember doing this about a year or so ago when I thought I might be able to spring for medium format, and found that Mamiya's moderate tele and wide angles (150 and 55 I think) were quite a bit higher than Pentax's, and so there wasn't so much difference in system cost. Of course, things may have changed in the last year too.
BTW, I was using the A150/3.5 to compare, not the much more expensive FA150/2.8. William in Utah.
