Hi folks,
Happily I began Dslr with my Pentax Kr and it works well with the kit lenses. The results have impressed many yet I know how much better things can be since getting a DA 1:2.8 40mm ltd and also completely shooting in raw then developing in Lightroom.
I like the 18-55 kit lens for doing an occasional macro shot, but that is about it.
I like the 55-300 kit lens for zooming out but that is about it.
Seems like I'm spoiled by my little 1:2.8 40mm ltd, right? Well yes of course I do like it a whole lot and will never give that one up.
But... please give me your advice on upgrading from here?
How about a good quality macro zoom?
I'm not willing to buy half a dozen more primes, but in time will buy one or two more.
Would selling my Kr and buying something like a K10 make my photos that much better with the lenses I have now?
Oh, to be clear my photography is mostly unplanned, when indoors I do have a Metz 50 AF-1 that is awesome hand held. When outdoors most of the time I want to freeze fast action beyond the distance of the Metz (but no need for a longer range than the 55-300) and also be able to do better macro than the 18-55.
So that is what I would like... so please give me your opinion about the pros and cons of choosing between new glass and new body.
One more thing, most of my prints so far have been for books but it would be great to print bigger
Chris
