Again thanks for all the tips.
I like the look of the DA 35 f/2.4 looks like I can pick one up for around $180. I found the manual focus 50mm f/2 for $30 on the local classifieds.
Anyone have a recommendation for a wide angle or a Macro lens?
I am loving this community already thanks for everything!

First off I have to say I am amazed at the quick responses thank you for that.
I guess saying I have buyers remorse was the wrong term. I am very excited for the camera to come and for my purpose I think it will serve me well. The concept of buying into an ecosystem is what is a little more daunting I guess. I really liked the fact that I can put almost any Pentax lens on the camera though that was a definite factor for me.
Here is another question. The camera will be used for doing a job that requires taking pictures of papers and tvs at hotels from distances between 12 inches and 4 feet. some in low light. Does anyone have a lens recommendation for this or will the 18-55 kit lens work fine?

I just purchased this PENTAX K-01 Kit for $540.99.
Every time I venture into a new product the first thing I do is find a forum so I can have a proper support system.
I have never owned anything more than a point and shoot so this will be my first adventure into photography.

I have been researching compact mirror-less cameras for over a month. I came across this deal. PENTAX K-01 with DA L 18-55 & 50-200 Dual Lens kit for $540.99
The camera has almost all of the features I wanted in my device so I pulled the trigger.
Here is the problem the more I think about it I wonder a few things.
1. Was this as good of a deal as I think it is? I have heard mixed things about the DA L 18-55 and good things about the DA L 50-200 (mostly that it is amazing between 75-125). Would I have been better buying just the body then buying individual lenses?
2. This is my first "real" camera. Should I have gone with a DSLR or with one of the slimmer competitors in the mirror-less market.
3. I own ZERO lenses. Owning lenses already seems to be a big factor for most of the people purchasing this camera. So am I making the wrong call if I am starting from scratch anyway?
Thanks in advance for your opinions
