I've been shooting since high school, went digital about 4 1/2 years ago. I started with an ist DL, a Tamron 28 - 200 lens, and a K10D with 18 - 55mm Pentax lens and a Pentax 100 - 300mm lens. All of that was stolen a year ago so I restarted with a K10D, Pentax 55 - 300mm and a Pentax 18 - 55mm lens. I recently bought a Pentax 28 - 200mm lens and have since bought a Pentax 55 - 300mm lens and just picked up a K20D body. I also picked up a Sigma 170 - 500mm zoom that is awsome!
