stu62 - k3 is certainly great, but for me that 24mp might be too much. I'd rather go for lower resolution sensor and more better dynamic range for landscapes

thanks so far for replies, some useful info in it
jonathan - the k200d had the same ccd sensor as my old k10d, right? There is something about that ccd, that makes colours and clarity of photos shine.

just wondering - did anybody upgrade from K5 to K5IIs? How do you find it? Would there be noticeable increase of details due to missing antialiasing filter? I found some quite mixed info on web and can't make my mind. I do like K5, especially its dynamic range is great for landscapes. I like shooting landscapes from tripod, but I wonder if K5IIs will provide me more clarity and more detail by any chance?

currently probably FA20-35 - for being optically superb for a zoom, very compact and lightweight and very useful although limited range - great street & landscape lens
overall probably FA 43 limited grabs the title of most favourite - great on film as well as on sensor

i have been thinking about it too -
two options: both quite expensive
67mm kit: FA202.8, Sigma 35/1.4 and DA*50-135/2.8 - downside is that 50-135 is not FF
58mm kit: FA 20-35/4, FA 31/1.8, DA*55/1.4 - quite expensive too, but all lenses are FF, however I will probably keep K85/1.8 to complement this kit ocassionally
