Any audiophiles around here?

HiFi upgraditis is just the audio version of what photographers refer to as LBA. The cure for both is the same - just buy the best there is. Like you, I bought a Linn Sondek LP12 in the mid-80's and suddenly, the upgraditis went away.

The difference between a Linn Sondek LP12 and "just well-made and reliable consumer electronics" is simple. If you have a Linn, you probably still listen to vinyl LPs regularly and think they are wonderful. The "reliable consumer electronics" will probably only get a spin once every Preston Guild.

Poll: Why did you buy a Pentax DSLR?

I already had some K-mount lenses, so a Pentax DSLR (K200D) was a natural choice, given that there were no compelling reasons to buy anything else.

Notable - interesting. Maybe the Pentax is better than the Rikenon, though the MTF data on Photodo doesn't suggest that. Have you got any photos that you can post, comparing the two?

You might be interested in this review .......

I doubt that the 35-70 is worth buying if you already have the kit lens.

I have the Rikenon 35-70 which scores identically on Photodo and it stays in my kit bag. I use the 18-55mm AL II kit lens for probably 80% or more of the photos I take. Most of the rest are taken using a SMC-M 75-150mm zoom, which is a very good (and very cheap) lens.

Yeah, me too.

I bought my first Pentax, a K200D with MK2 kit lens, just before Xmas as my first serious foray into the world of digital photography. Fortunately, I've got a few K-mount lenses that I used with a Ricoh KR10X that work fine with the K200D - a Rikenon 50mm f2, Sigma 28mm, Sigma 135mm, Takumar 80-210mm zoom and I've recently bought a Pentax 75-150mm zoom too for a song off Ebay.

Cheers
Andrew
