Welcome chopinho65,

What sort of gear do you have?

Regards, Gary

Hi Gary

Got a couple of older lenses that i no longer use but over past year or so have gradually upgraded my kit to:

DA-40mm-F2.8-Limited
DA-10-17mm-F4
DA-18-135mm-F3.5-5.6
Sigma 70-200mm-f2-8
Manfrotto tripods (should have gone for the carbon fibre on the first one - now travelling and have purchased a 290 series, still not carbon, but much lighter and compact than the 55xprob).

Just purchased the K5iis but going to keep the K10D as a second camera and a good starter for my son (probably get the plastic fantastic 35mm 2.4 for him to get his eye in).

Cheers

Craig

Good to have you here Craig.
If you didn't have the DA 40, I'm sure you'd find the DA 35/2.4 your go to lens.
