Hi everyone, thanks for all your advice... I decided on changing bodies as I really need an articulating screen. I'd like the k-s2, BUT I can't buy a 180 or 200mm macro prime lens, which I really want in the future! That's a big deal-breaker. I'd also like a quiet shutter which apparently it doesn't have... I can't believe I'm about to buy a Canon EOS 70D with canon 100mm macro lens, as they have $300 cash back, which makes it $400 cheaper than the k-s2! I don't want to change my loyalties, but $400 is a lot to me!
Cheers, Wendy

Is the $10 sale still on? If so, I'll buy the KS-2 e-book.
Thanks, Wendy

Hi all fellow Pentaxians,

I've been looking on here for a long time now, and finally going to introduce myself. About 4 years ago, my son moved back home after splitting up with his girlfriend. He wanted to buy me a new camera. but was having trouble with my P&S. He wanted to buy me a DSLR, but I didn't want to be bothered with changing lenses, so I bought a superzoom Panasonic Lumix FZ150. He had a Pentax K200D. 10 months later, he bought a Kx cheap as he wanted to do aurora photos, so he gave me his K200D and a 18-55 kit lens & 50mm prime. I have since not used by Panasonic. He then bought me a 28-200 Tamron AF Aspherical XR [IF] f3.8-5.6 Macro for Christmas, but it didn't zoom in enough, so the following year he bought me a Sigma 70-300 Sigma DG Macro f4-5.6 the following year for my 50th birthday.
I now take photos for the photo's sake, instead of mainly for painting references & mainly photograph fungi, so I've been borrowing my son's 28-90 Sigma macro, and just bought a 28-80 on ebay a couple of weeks ago. I really want a sharper macro, so I'm tossing up between a Tamron 90mm Macro & a Pentax 100mm WR for Christmas this year, but I've also been looking at newer bodies too...
Thanks for all the info on this site...

Wendy
