<p>The thing that impressed me most about Pentax cameras is that they offered 'Real" features that were important to me as opposed to meaningless, or frequently used features. Real in-camera HDR, real double exposure, real weather sealing, Real quiet shutter and of course the price. After viewing pictures of some of their f2.8 lenses with SDM, I think I would be better off with the Kit lens (18-135mm/18-55mm) and some primes, rather than role the dice and wind up with a dud. <strong>Real compact</strong> was another reason I purchased the camera, so why pair it with a huge and heavy lens that may have issues.<br>
Harry, in the real world the 18-135 is a decent lens and all of the DA Limiteds are very good.</p>
