While it is somehwhat a long shot (at $1299. body only)- i am
considering the Pentax K20D as my first dSLR.....
14.6 Mp and the weather sealing are VERY enticing....
Anybody have a good idea about them as company- from PERSONAL
experience...?? Where they may be headed, if i'm gonna be stuck wit
'em... luv to see what people know...
.Any Pentax users in the house...? Or owners of their lenses...?
Thanks all.... StefanTonio (ST.) aka Stefographer

Re: Curious about Pentax.. - as a co. and their glass.......
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 8:53 PMI have the k10d, great features for the price. I have found the lenses to be above the rest as they seem to give a better lens with the kit set up. Most non-oem lens manufacturers produce the same stuff for pentax as the others (nikon canon etc) I am considering a K20 next year. If you have an old 35mm pentax the lenses should work out just fine. I have from 14mm to 2000mm lenses and they all shoot rather well. Pentax has been around for a long time, they just took their time to put out a DSLR. Even though they were bought out they seem to be getting new stuff out.
