Thanks Jon,
I saw in your profile, that you started with Minolta X../MD..equipment..I had a X300 and a X500 + MD50 before going to digital. Nice bodies and fine optics for nice shots ! (I kept the X500).
Pentax is a good choice for "before-digital" photographers, because of the possibility to use all SMC lenses produced since 70's. (MF, AF all manual, Auto). That's why I switched from Minolta to Pentax.
