Have been using Pentax equipment since 1976, can't imagine using anything else. The ability to use my "old" Pentax lenses with the the new K200D definitely made it easier to convince my wife that it was money well spent!

Welcome to the forum, that's a good start just wait till the LBA kicks in, perhaps you can offer some soothing words for our wives too.

I will be the first to admit that I like my "toys" and that is why my wife cringed a little when I told her that I was getting back into photography. (At least no film developing expense)

LBA has kicked in already just ordered DA*50-135mm and a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8
