Hi,
I have been lurking on the site for some time, reading reviews, getting very good advice from fellow Pentax users.
We have a K5ii,a Kx and a K200d, and smattering of lenses.

Mainly interested in shooting in low light (live music) venues.
But shoot all kinds of other stuff, rural interests, etc.
Mostly drawn to fast and sharp lenses.
Can some-one around here point me to the educational aspect of Pentax lenses?
Differences between "green star" D DA FA, etc.
There's a section on this somewhere right?

I really need to educate myself.
Thanks.
