I think I just sent you a private message, but in case I messed it up, I am interested in the lens.

I'm a Wal-Mart shopper (except for the meat - too watery :fedup:). But anyway, I agree with this thought. When I drop that kind of money on a camera I'm going somewhere where there is support.

Just an FYI and only slightly related, but I did see a Pentax ad in this month's 'Backpacker' magazine. It was for the K20D and the K200D - emphasized the weather sealing and versatility.

The first sentence means I'm not currently considering the 200 (unless I see that it is superior to the K10D). And then, again because of money, I'll stay with the kit lens long enough to learn how to use the camera I end up purchasing.

This is my first post.
I am Joe Smith (name changed to protect the innocent). About four months ago I became intrigued by the DSLR. This came after a years'-long loyalty to the film and my trusty K1000. I began looking into the matter. I looked into the magazines at the local giant-chain bookstores in this area. Naturally (being a brand loyalist) I nestled into the Pentax fold.
Money is an issue. I have a plastic gallon milk jug where I keep my change. About two months ago I stated my desire to buy a K10D and promised my wife she would see no credit card bill, nor any debits from any accounts. I guard my jugs of change lest they disappear into some home-repair.
So then I found this message board and lurked; only registering last week. My decision to buy a K10D confirmed, but I was intrigued (and still saving coins) by rumors of the next generation of cameras. It is fascinating to listen to the near-religious fervor demonstrated by the Pentax prophets. I admit I know less than half of the the technical jargon displayed on these pages. It's a little like reading the book of Revelations - much conjecture, only a few solid leads.
So then the day of revealing comes and goes. There are two cameras - the K20D and the K200D. The debates, satisfaction and disappointment, grow. And I am still with my daily pockets of change, ever saving towards a purchase.
What do to? A K10D or a K20D? The K200D is my John Edwards, alas. The cost, as I see it, is approximately eight months of change. I do not allow myself to consider lenses...
As I am not brave enough to be in the first wave of consumers and as I will keep the promise to my wife - time may be on my side. I'll keep you posted and in the meantime, will continue to read these posts and find reviews on my own.
And, fwiw - I think this is a great site.
