Big hairy Canon whine for not carrying a lens line equivalent to Pentax. All manner of examples were offered, including the LTD primes. They were critical of both the choices and relative quality of available Canon lenses. I understand your frustration at not finding certain third party lenses for Pentax, but Canon users have their own grips.
Jack ======== Yes. With Canon you have a basically a three tier system: low level cheap and not so good, mid-level definitely not cheap and usually pretty good (usually L glass), and high level expensive and very good (f 2.8 and often IS). I am now committed to Canon, I have too much glass to switch at this time, but Pentax often offers very good lenses at cheaper prices. In other words, it isn't a three tier system so you have more options. Bear that in mind. Marnie aka Doe Note: I truthfully have no complaints about my current system and glass though. Each brand has its advantages/disadvantages. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
