Originally posted by Timd: I have a confession... I had to buy a waterproof camera for work and found out Camerworld in Bellville was the cheapest. I went there to buy the waterproof camera and to hold the K1 to see it in the flesh. I took my lenses to see how it works with them. After playing with it, I ended up buying a K1 and a 28-105 lens.....
..... I was recently offered a Sigma 105mm macro and a FA*24 for ridiculous prices, purely because I am the only Pentax user Barry at Tothills knows. With many of my lenses being full frame and with the K1 being able to select whether it can shoot full or cropped, my mind was just about made up.....
Congrats. Looks like a real winner for Pentax, and great for even higher ISO performance. Very envious of the new toys feeling. The Sigma 105mm Macro and FA*24 are really nice lens. I also scored bargains on both. The Sigma is really sharp, and while the FA*24 is not the sharpest, it produces beautiful colors (and good for many years to come). You should see if you can find a DFA-50/2.8 Macro, also a marvel of IQ (although so many other fast 50s are also good).
