New K20D owner here and love it. Up to this point, I'd always owned Canon EOS SLR and my wife has a little Coolpix 3200, but I absolutely love this Pentax!! Research on many fronts showed me that it blows away the competition in this price range; so far, I'm very pleased and am having a blast learning the ropes.
So far, my only lens is the 18-55mm DA AL (not the AL II unfortunately) kit lens.
I also picked up the K20 book by Magic Lantern to supplement the Pentax guide (which is VERY thorough).
This said, what should the next lens be? I'm leaning toward this
AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro; Tamron USA, Inc. (AF18-250) so I'll be able to hit short and long range, but they just came out with the AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II, though I only see it available for the other guys. Does anybody know if in the works for Pentax too? Or should I be considering a different lens entirely?
Also, re: general knowledge re: DSLR's, what book(s) should I be reading?
Thanks in advance for any/all replies!
