Welcome to the Forum Stefan.
It sounds as though the DA*55 is going to be a great lens.
It will be interesting to see what the actual retail price is.

Welcome Stefan.
Nice introduction you made. Good to see you online here as well in the competition area. You will love it here and you will always want that other lens. It is a commen habit amongst photographers - called LBA!!!

Hi Hyram and Nimitz, I'm already feeling very welcome here.
Hopefully some of the other just joined members are going to write a piece, feeling a bit lonely here
Yeah have heard of LBA before and I've it too I think... is it a bad thing? Whit the current economy I think that a lens would be far more valuable than most of the stock, so it's a wise investment.
Just hoping now that the DA*55 would be as good or better than the FA85, if that's the case it will never cost you money for sure

Hello finaly
My name is Istvan, 26 year old economist, from Tirgu Mures, Romania.
I have just bought my first dslr camera a Pentax K200d with the 18-55, and 50-200 kit lenses. Its a whole new world to me, i was shooting until now with a Fuji Finepix s5700, and i need a litle time to get used with the new system, so i am glad that i've discovered this site.
My main interest is nature photography.
Also it was a big surprise and boost for my spirit, that my foto was chosen as winner at last week's competition, and i hope i can live up to the task of chosing the winner this week.
I saw that already you have sent a lot of great shots, it will be a difficult job to choose.
P.s.
Sorry for the late introduction.

Welcome Istvan,
you certainly entered the forum in style. Good to see that more young folk is joining the forum. That will give us old-timers a run for our money.
Speaking of old-timers: I'm 44 years old (some forum members will say I'm barely grown up), a physicist by training and work as an engineer/scientist developing chemical sensors for oceanography.
I ventured into Pentax DSLR's when the *istD came out. I had a Ricoh SLR before and with the *istD I was able to use some of the lenses. The lenses from that time have all retired now.
My latest support for the ailing photo industry was a K20 in March and a DA* 16-50 this month. The K20 certainly has dropped in value since March but not as much as some companies shares...
