Hiya

Yeah, ive had to hunt hi n low for one of these , and as it seems australia
wont be getting the DS2 (as apparently pentax cant do it cheap enuff here
here)
we are stuck with the DL , which seems good and gets good reviews , i
thought i'd sooner get a DS for what turned out to be just about the same
amount of money.

why pentax DS , main reason reason i already have 3 pentax lenses (28-70,
35-80, 200-300) that suit my old pentax Z-70 35mm slr i have have , so i
thought i'd got with the pentax. PLus I used to have a old k1000 which was
great fun. The pentax is cheaper than say the canon 350d, nikon d70
althought each of them is a good camera as well.

if i won lotto i think i'd be happy with a canon d20 and some nice lenses ,
but i didnt ...

ps how do you find your DS , and are you on the pentax slr forum ???

cheers dave

pS many thanks to petepc for putting me on to them
