Just got my first Pentax DSLR after 28 years or so of lugging numerous cameras about, but as my kit was getting long in the tooth I needed a modern all weather DSLR so opted for a new K-5 with 18-55 and 50-200 lenses. My guess is that I will probably retire my other DSLR, an Olympus E-1 as I get to know the K-5 in the coming months. Nice to find an active Pentax forum to contribute to.
