Welcome Bill.
There are plenty of lenses around to fit your KX. Half of the fun is finding the one you want at the right price.

Why not buy a Pentax 300mm f/4 and Kenko 1.5 AF TC from B&H for $1220 with free delivery when you get to Florida?

Had several views today of the controversial video showing camera carrying reporters being "dismissed" by an Apache.

Warning, not for those of a sensitive disposition.

The event occurred in 2007.

Puts another slant on friendly fire.

I mean that Nikon cameras are more comparable to Pentax than Canon cameras in the way they handle or don't you agree?
In that case, absolutely.

For the record, the D700 handles very similarly to the K10 and K20. It was only curiosity, to find out if you had handled a D700 (after plenty of steroids).

Save as in not spending any money at all on a lens waiting for the DA*11-16 that might never come.

If it would come this would be an indication of his performance link

As for the 5D, why on earth would you want a Canon, I would rather go for the Nikon D700 at least they handle a bit like Pentax.
Also if you can spend that much why not a 645D?
Purely out of interest Stefan, which model Pentax handles like a D700?

Martin,

I am not looking at film vs digital. I think they both have a place. I see them as different tools. There will never be a situation of one medium being the final choice. Market factors and manipulation will see to that.

Getting back to my post content and "Interesting, this photography lark". It is a wide and varied activity with a range of formats, equipment, passions and motives.

I like film. I like the discipline it commands. That itself does not make better images. It's just another tool. I use film in situations where digital is not practical. I find digital faster yet more time consuming.

Regards

120 film > APS-C digital > 35mm film (in my opinion)

Hence I think my days of shooting 35mm are very nearly at an end...
That's an unusual line up. Film in front of digital, in front of film?

Not pushing one more than the other here as I use both digital and film. Purely looking at other peoples thoughts. With emphasis on "may well get" rather than "will get".

With regards to the comment by dougf8,

"Having to take a few rolls of film on holiday, not knowing if you got the shot, having to get the whole role developed. And then finding out if you had a decent shot".

This only true for certain images. Action shots are normally not repeatable but static or posed shots are, so I would say that under certain situations the instant preview is of high value.

Regards
