I guess I misunderstood, I thought that the crop factor was due to the lens being full frame and the sensor being less than full frame and that the DA lenses are the same size as the sensor and there wouldn't be any crop factor. I would love for someone to explain that to me, though.
I am, although I am years removed from SLR's (sold all my equipment when I had a bunch of unexpected bills crop up) so I probably wouldn't notice the difference.
Would that be better than the kit lens + the 50-200mm? The prices for both of those combos (body + 18-250 and Kit + 50-200) are only a couple hundred difference, and if the 18-250 is that much nicer of a lens, I would probably go for it.

Okay, I am moving into the foray of DSLR's and am seriously considering the K10D and Nikon D70. I love the D10D's features (shake reduction and sealed body especially since I will take it hiking), but cannot find all that much about lenses.
It seems that the DA lenses don't have the 'magnification' factor that other lens/bodies do (ie. a 50mm lens on a D70 is more like a 70mm lens from a 35mm SLR), is that correct?
Looking at the pricing of the lenses, it seems that the higher-end glass is less expensive than its Canon/Nikon counterparts, but that there are no lower-end primes (like the 50/1.8 that is so sharp and cheap for Nikon/Canon), is this true? Am I just missing the cheap yet sharp primes?
Thanks for any input,
Matt
