I'm still undecided. I miss my 50 dearly and so that may push me towards hanging out with it for a full month :-D too bad my 21 isn't gonna be here in time to start :( lol TBD...

just in case you were wondering, here's what I bought last night at the Family mart. Its wrapped in such a way that the plastic is between the rice and the seaweed. If you don't open it following the instructions, then the seaweed breaks and flakes off and is just plain messy not to mention your rice is partially naked! :lol::lol: However, if you open it according to the instructions then the plastic come off in three sections and its like the seaweed and rice had been married the whole time! :-D

I'm not gonna lie (and it's not hard to tell) that these challenges are HARD and trying to take a "good" photo is getting harder and harder to do during the week but hopefully the story the photos tell and the "little insight into" me makes them semi-worth taking a gander at :-D I'm loving everyone's photos even if I rarely comment on them (I'm just not.er...qualified to really comment on the composition or technical aspects lol) but really they do give me a li'l inspiration when I need it. Thanks, guys and gals!

Oh man..I went to flickr to browse the DA 21 group and now I'm stuck between the 21 and the 15, actually leaning towards the 21 *sigh*

dang i didn't even see the first response mentioning the 21! I had considered the 21 but I figured I could always crop from the 15 if I really wanted to (I know, shame on me). That being said, this raises another interesting candidate. I mostly take photos of people/street type shooting, hence my affinity for the 50. However, more and more lately I'm wishing I could get wider shots to include more of the surroundings while not focusing so much on the people, hence my desire for the 15. If someone (or someoneS) could post samples of some street type shots with the 21 that would be awesome! Thanks, everyone!

Reason #938556523 why I love this forum: that helped out TREMENDOUSLY! Looking at the photos, focal length wise, there's a much bigger difference between 40 and 50 (much more than I was expecting) BUT there's a much smaller difference between the 35 (which I already have) and 40. I think this seals the deal for the DA 15!!! Thank you so much!!!

Here's my dilemma. All of the holidays in the title of this thread are coming up and I usually negotiate with my parents to combine them all into one big present :D. This year I want an awesome new lens and I really need to add a wider one to my collection. However, I wouldn't mind getting the DA 15 used, cheaper and on my own. I've previously stated my love and adoration of my M-50 but I'm starting to wonder if that's just b/c I don't know any better :). So, I'm thinking about asking for the DA-40 since I do regularly wish that my 50 was just a smiiiiiidge wider and I often hear the praises of the DA-40 being sung. So, fellow Pentaxians, help a friend out! Ask for the DA-15 b/c the M-50 is just soooooo awesome and the DA-40 isn't that much better or go with the DA-40 b/c its sooooooo amazing and will quickly have me forgetting all about my beloved 50?!

Yup. Living overseas makes me even prouder to be American (not that I don't love Japan and the Japanese b/c I do, I really, really do. However, it can be quite an unwelcoming place to be at times :) ).

lol no no..i was disliking photolady not feeling well! I remain undecided on the 35mm: I am trying desperately not to crop my photos so I can really learn to frame a photo w/in the 35mm.
