The Jeep has about 178,000 miles on it. I guess that is out of your range. Good luck on your sale.

Frogfish, thanks for your input. Maybe I'd be better off sticking with something like a 67 400 ED with a K adapter. What would you think of that?

Would like to hear about anyone's use of a Pentacon 300mm or 500mm. Would M42 be the easiest way to hang them on a K mount? Any other mount ideas? How are results on a K 5 or K 30? Thanks.

With all this lens discussion I would like to get some comments on a couple lenses please. I just received my order from KEH. Tokina AT-X PRO 80-200 F2.8 Anyone know anything about that lens? Also I found a new Voigtlander Color Skopar SL II 20mm F3.5. Any thoughts on that lens? Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate any help you can provide. I'll look at the review sites you mentioned. I also found DP Review and Photo Zone helpful. Making good and carefully thought out decisions on equipment is a very time consuming process. After that it will be a similar struggle to get the right software and learn how to use it well so a pleasing picture finally arrives. Seems quite daunting. I'll keep at it slowly. Thanks for your imput.

Thank you. I will try that. Still don't know my way around here. Do I start a new thread when I need to ask questions?

Hello to all with my first post. What a great place this Pentax Forums.

I would like to learn to take some high resolution photographs of landscapes and animals (including some macro work). I don't have much photography background, but have read a bit about it. I believe the glass is what makes the picture so I have studied in an effort to find good lenses I can afford. This has led to Pentax in a K mount as my choice for a place to hang the lenses. I anticipate buying a Pentax K 5 before long.

I have been gathering together a few lenses to use on the camera. My goal is to get lenses that have a 10.0 rating (or at least 9.0) for sharpness in the PF reviews. Please offer comments on other considerations I should make.
Here's the list of what I have so far:
Vivitar Series 1 28-90mm F2.8-3.5 Macro
Tokina AT-X 828 AF PRO 80-200mm F2.8
Voigtlander Color Skopar SL II 20mm F3.5
Voigtlander Nokton SL II 58mm F1.4
Kiron 105mm F2.8 Macro 1:1
Pentax 645 SMC A Macro 120 F4 (I have the 645 to K adapter.)

Also I anticipate purchasing:
Pentax 43mm Limited
Sigma EX DG Macro 70mm F2.8

Please offer any ideas you might have on other lenses and how I can learn to take good photographs. This might be a pretty big task, but my time horizon may not be as far off as it is for some. Thought I better jump right to the good stuff. (Can't afford the Leica S 2.)

Oh, one more thing. I have a Pentacon Six 500mm. Any ideas on how I might hang that on a K 5?

Thanks for any help you might give.
