Hi all.

New to Pentax after years with a Canon (can I say that here?) AE-1 and then a few compacts (but sick of no or toy viewfinders!)

Picked up a K20D on ebay (after a sad experience with a KX that now has a non-functioning LCD screen (inexplicably).

Hoping it will be as durable as it's reputation indicates!

What's the thoughts on the K20D?

Weather here in Scotland been grey and 'orrible (but nothing like southern England's unfortunate flooding) - so looking for more light and colour in Spring to try it out in.

Lenses I've now got are two kit lenses - DAL 1:4-5.6 50-200 ED, DAL 1:3.5-5.6 18-55 AL, and an older A 1:1.7 prime I got quite cheap (v good cond).

Cheers...

Hi Gauche, welcome to the site! Both lenses you have are good and the A F1.7 is a classic.

I hope you like the K20D - you will get a lot of good advice on here if you need it.

Regards
David
