Originally posted by paperbag846 I would find one in real life and play with it. Make your decision based on experience. If you buy the 35 DA L used, you can sell it for what you buy it for, if you decide the 43 is the way to go down the line.

My Pentax purchases have to be made on faith, because there isn't a Pentax retailer in all of Florida. I don't personally know anyone with a Pentax anything to borrow equipment from either. What I read on the forum and other websites pretty much influences all of my purchasing decisions.
I appreciate the advice thus far, and for now I'm thinking of holding off on the 43, although I see the dollar depreciate by the day and know it's only a matter of time before another price hike.
