I trade my DA 16-45mm for the F 100mm Macro
Haha...
bought it from a good friend for $600 just recently :sweat:
wah^^; f 100mm f2.8 must be one of the lens that LBAs want:sweatsm:
If the Price winner can do that with Sigma, it doesn't the rest of the len are pointless: He used multiple exposer ... to get the kind of image with post processing skills and the ability to use Filter effectively... that only landscape .. he did it at the right place, right time, with the best of his skills and equipment..( He can even do better than this, I think, yet he pictures are already great)
There are equally bad pictures taken by the Sigma 1770... at some instance: Sometimes I am afraid to use this len under low-light conditions.
You definitely can take great pictures with the kit len: .... but I think it also about the purpose of the len, what it is good for....how you handle it, your artistic inclination and inspiration what do do want to get form the picture you want to take.
Every len has it sweet spot and down end including great len... I think if you know the purpose and what you expect to produces and your ability to deliver the results is one of the key to great pictures.
I came across one great landscape photographer said that you will get relative good pictures with relative good equipments, if you understand the magic of light, your images will stir the soul.
Good len is really good len: you want know until you put them to the tasks...it actually eliminate post processing and produce more organic quality pictures...len has characteristics, different photographer has different preference on what len they prefer to use, that they think can give them the best results.
I think these people inspires others that you can also do even better with relative better equipments.

Given my current time constrained situation, sometimes, I am tempted to sell off all the Pentax gear, just get a Canon G9 and be 'happy'. But the problem is, I know I will not be 'happy', and will soon regret my actions.
Lucky you came to your senses!
I also own a P&S (Fuji Finepix V10)which I take out in situations where its too troublesome to lug my camera gear around but since purchasing that nice and compact Bagman camera bag, its so portable that I don't even bother to bring the P&S along anymore if the K200D is going.
Of course I sometimes still bring the V10 when I need to capture some video action.

Yeah, luckily I came to my senses, otherwise, I'd have regretted it for sure.I too need to get a P&S/compact dslr, that I can carry around in my pocket. Actually, an Olympus 420 and their pancake would be a great idea except for the cost.:sweat: Probably will get a Canon A590IS in a couple of months. Cheap and good.:thumbsup:
