Hi Howard, that happened some while back now (a couple of years ago as I remember)

How is the K-7 going btw

Doh !! my mistake , I just googled the websire and assumed I was on latest page.

The K7 is brilliant , still working my way round the handbook. Not been able to use it to be honest, as it's dark on the way to work and dark when I get back and I have been busy each weekend .
I am pondering which would be a good prime to get ?

Depends what you want from a prime

The choice is immense as you know, you can see what I have opted for so far. I find the FA 28 f/2.8 is nice all round prime and the DFA 100 is a great macro lens.
I might consider some of the Ltds if prices come down in the future

I really love the DA 40mm prime and use it a lot as a general 'walkaround' lens... It seems to stay on the camera pretty much when I am taking holiday snaps..., and it is so small that when it's on the camera I can squeeze the whole lot easily into a small bag full of other stuff... At the other end of the scale the DA* 300mm is fantastic for bird/animal shots... Like greytop says, it just depends what you want really. I just got the DFA 100mm and am looking forward to having a play with it in the morning (if it stops raining...)
