As Richard says the Pentax 16-45 is excellent wide open. Here is a link to some test shots I made with the one I purchased from a forum member.

Note the fastest shutter speed was 1/8 and all were hand held.

Never trust ANY drive !! They all pack up at some time.

Use 2 drives (maybe 1 external) as a backup for your precious files. (or DVDs perhaps)

Backup, backup, backup... how many times have I told people this !?
Very good advice.I was caught out a few years ago. I now have all of my photos on two external drives at the same time.
At the moment I have two Lacies,one Maxtor and one Seagate.Two are firewire and two usb.
It is worth keeping a lookout on this site LINK

I found this one ... which looks good too .. I'v made £20 offer on this one
£20 seems a bit low for ebay if you take the free postage option.
Here is a link to one at LCE for the same price,

Nice selection though.
