I think the problem with this approach is that it is not practical to bring 2 systems out shooting at the same time (to most people at least). One can buy all the systems on earth, but the problem is, no man can carry them all on the shoulder? >Like I’ve said, I’m on a budget. It seems staying with Pentax is >“penny-wise but pound foolish.” That depends. If one wants to keep using his/her manual focus lenses but don't want to buy used bodies, Pentax and Nikon are good choice (except K mount equipments have far less capability issues). Some rare or excellent K mount lenses could be used on current AF bodies too. Only a few very low end Pentax AF bodies (don't remember which) cannot meter with old manual focus lenses, and everything else are interchangable practically. I don't see the problem. But it is true that some FA* lenses aren't as attractive as Canon equivalent lenses in terms of price. I sure want a high quality 70-210/4 like the Canon L, but nothing from Pentax so far. And I can't afford and don't want to carry the heavy 2.8 version. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
