Thanks to everyone for the advice.... I have a few friends who have recently purchased the 450D. I'm glad that I went against the grain and chose the Pentax. I've read great things about Pentax glass... I'm very happy with the A 1.7 50mm so far. I'm really just in the learning stage at the moment, so I want to learn as much as I can using the prime lens and then move to a nice telephoto (without breaking my bank account of course :)... one of the reasons that I chose to go with a Pentax system)
I realize that an auto focus lens will likely set me back quite a bit... does any one have any advice on a good telephoto lens to get my feet wet? Thanks again.

Very cool... I have a friend who is about ready to make the switch from Canon to Nikon... I might have to take some of the Canon lenses off his hands :D

Hi everyone... great forum that you have here, I hope that someone can help me out. I recently purchased a K10D from one of your members. It seems to be in immaculate condition, and I could be happier, except for one small factor... I can't take any pictures.
I assume that I have chosen an incompatible lens so was hoping that someone could confirm this and maybe give me some advice so that I don't make the same mistake again.
Here's the lens: SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm
Now, I had read that the k10d was compatible with the KAF2, KAF and KA mount lenses. Isn't the Pentax-A a KA Mount lens?
If I remove the lens, the camera seems to operate normally, but with the lens attached nothing happens. Thanks in advance... Joe
