Hi Stigg, I like such DoF showing pics. Nice one but don't you think the subject in focus could have been sharper and that would have made this pic really a great one.

I had been using a Sony Cybershot. I have always desired to own a DSLR but could not afford one. While only having heard of the brand called Pentax, I, don't know why, got only Pentax in my mind when I thought of a DSLR. I was fascinated by the name. I had no idea of the Pentax quality. Had just heard the name long ago and an image was built up in my mind that Pentax makes great cameras. When I could afford a DSLR I bought a used IST DL. Few months later sold IST DL and bought a K10D, which I still have. Then I bought a K20D. Few months on, I sold the K20D and bought a K-7. I now have a K-7 and K10D. Due to the affordability factor, I bought all of them in used but mint condition. While I have not held any other DSLR other than Pentax, I know from within that none will be as great to hold as my Pentax. I love my Pentax. I keep comparing my Pentax DSLRs with other brands only to see how mine is better and forget about what is better in them. This way I am always content. What you have is what you have.

Ricoh please keep us motivated.

I have experience with Tammy 18-200. I used it for a few days and returned it. I did not like the performance....too soft. I have no experience of 18-135.

NO

I got one from ebay for my k-7 which was a good stiff plastic and really does the job it is meant to.
