Treat yourself to some DA* lenses instead, I would reccomend the 16-50DA* for starters, it balances beautifully with the K20D body, especially with the grip.
Or a 50-135 DA*....
IMO cameras are becoming like all other electronic gear: a new model every year and a feeling that we need to upgrade. On the other hand lenses are longer term investments.

I can't compare as I only have the K20D, not the K7. But I would consider investing in lenses instead. There will always be a better camera, but lenses do make a big difference....

FAR FAR more important than the lenses is the photographers ability (or not) to use them. Far too many people spend endless pointless hours worrying about which lens to buy next instead of actually getting out and improving their technique...
True. We also spend endless pointless hours (and money) choosing which car to buy. And, depending on interests, which tennis racket to buy, which golf clubs to buy, football shoes...

That's part of the fun, though

Jacobs lists the Samsung version of the lens for 538 GBP. And it can be found used on the forum from time to time at very reasonable prices.

I bought mine here (Samsung) and I must say it is an amazing lens!

Jacobs also has the Samsung version at 549.99 (10 days delivery).
