j2photos Thanks for that i will look into it but i am trying to just buy from Australia.
Here is what I (personally) would do;
Go with the K-5 from Amazon, $630 new, or $450 used (the K-5II runs at $695 new from Amazon) the K-5II/s runs almost $800 from B&H.
I'd get the K-5 for $630, Pentax Normal smc P-D FA 50mm f/2.8 Macro (2.8 is probably too slow for macro) for $521.95 OR you could get the Pentax smc DA 50mm f/1.8 ($181.95) or the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG for $399
A kit should consist of the following lenses:
wide angle (less than 35mm)
Normal; 43, 50, 55, 80, 85 (one or more of these is great)
Zoom: 100,200,300 (again one or any of these is good)
Flash unit
SD cards
Battery grip (optional)
Extra batteries (optional)
Are you in need of top end glass, or just looking for something with decent quality?
Also, I need to ask, do you mind if some lenses are new or used, and also do you mind if they are manual focus? That there will save money too, and you can generally get better glass for cheaper.
