So, after marks back up question last week, i have decided to add one

Dave, if you buy a drive from the Apple store or an Apple 3rd party
supplier it will almost certainly come pre-formatted for Mac OS X.
Otherwise just run Disk Utilities.app when you get a new backup drive
and reformat it. Takes all of a minute or two to do. It's no big deal
at all.

Bruce, i guess my main question would be this. When i set up my
computer the first time, as i plugged in my existing back up drives, a
pop up screen asked if i wanted to make it the time machine drive,
which i said no to. I can then say yes to the new one, before
formatting it, i'm assuming yes.
If you plugin the drive and it's _not_ OS X formatted, I'm not sure
that you'll even get that helpful popup question at all. If it does it
will probably prompt you to reformat at that time.
In any event, you can easily add any compatible drive as the TM backup
drive from TM preferences later on.
Yes i see that now, missed it on my original read through. The other
drives were formated to win/mac before this new machine, on the iBook

As a purely hypothetical , lets just say you had maybe $2500 to spend free

Looking at your kit, I'd start with the DA* 16-50 and 50-135. Both are
almost as fast as primes and autofocus faster than Pentax FA primes.
I'd probably add the DA 200 as well or perhaps the Sigma 70-200. I
would then sell the three zooms you own now and add the 31 Limited or
the FA 35/2.
Cory, I'd go for a set of primes, such as DA 15 Ltd, DA 21 Ltd, FA 31
Ltd, FA 43 Ltd, and FA 77 Ltd. And I would go for A 50/1.2 as well.
As well I would suggest a Katz Eye screen and a good flash unit.
