Not quite - The Canon 50mm 1.8 standard lens is $150 CDN @ a number of retailers. The Pentax 50mm 1.7 standard lens is $270 CDN @ the same retailers.
I too have been considering a switch so that's the reason for the "price check" on the items mentioned but I'm waiting it out till after Photokina :) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: Frantisek Vlcek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 14:19:06 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Pentax flashes / changing platforms <snip> Their (Canon) primes are quite more expensive, the EOS 1.8/50 costs about as much as a 1.4/50 from pentax IIRC. </snip> -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
