Help! Pentax K-7


i want to get k-7 because i want to invest long term i doubt i will be changing it for a couple of years. As i am a student now my mum will be the one paying not be so i don't think i can change in the near future. if i can change in a yr or two i don't mind k-x.
 

Wah Mum Paying...so good.

I think Pentax getting popular nowadays due to their K7 and Kx.
 

Ideally, you'd want to borrow or rent a basic lens now at least until you know when and whether the twin lens kit is coming.
Alternatively, you can get a lens that you can use now, and continue using even when you later get the twin lens kit.
Possibilities include the FA 50mm f/1.4, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, DA 40mm f/2.8.

Or look around the Pentax B&S area for second hand lenses that are being offered.
 

Btw, is there any source that i can find out what does the acronyms of the lenses means? and techniques on how to use DSLRs? i am really keen to learn. BTW I FINALLY FOUND K-7 AND THE DUAL LENSES KIT!!! I AM GETTING IT ON SUNDAY!!!! WHOOHOO!!!!! ;)

Jiawei, Fengwei made a sticky thread on websites that provide tons on info on Pentax bodies and lenses(and the acronyms).

IMHO this is one of the best help pages:
Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Equipment Page - All things about Pentax K-Mount.

Bought the K-7 and the WR dual lens (18-55 & 50-200) with SLR Revo.

Hope it helps if you are still looking for the lens.
