I can't imagine any ebay seller using film.

I suppose you could use a 1 hour lab and then get a CD with the prints, but it would be very much the hard way to produce pictures for eBay!

Good choice of kit and welcome to the forum!

I live in Oz & my *istD came with a Sigma twin lens kit, 18-50 & 55-200.

That wasn't something Pentax decided, but something your dealer put together. These were not Pentax lenses, so it's not possible to judge the performance of the Pentax kit lenses based upon your experience with two Sigma lenses.

Perhaps if you look at the members' pictures on this forum and see what lenses were used it might be helpful in your decision making process?

The *istD was supplied with the 18-35mm lens - not a bad performer and also full frame for those who wanted to use it on a film SLR.

It rained in Montmartre Wednesday, and boy did it rain! But bad weather brings exciting photo opportunties. Now we have weather-resistant bodies and lenses there are no excuses!

Get out there and use them...

Dredging up a few snippets from memory, I think CMOS sensors are noisier than CCDs. Maybe it's because the amplification occurs on the chip and is less effective.

If this is so, it might explain why the CMOS cameras have low speed noise reduction permanently activated.

According to the users that I know personally, the whole thing is Much Ado About Nothing.

So you know how it's done in-camera! It's often referred to as an "up and downer" and this was shot at f22 as the camera was moved contantly up and down.

I realised afterwards that, being short sighted, if I'd left my glasses off I would have seen the garden pretty much as Monet would have. Perhaps I should have taken some shots with the camera focused on the closest distance possible, but I can try that in any garden.

And what a fine garden it is too. Here's a picture, not so much in the satyle of Monet, but taken in his garden. Pentax K20D with SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm WR lens.
