I had my 30th birthday a couple of weeks ago and my main gift from my partner was a Pentax K200D (well the deposit on a layby of a K200D... with the notion that once tax returns are back it would be paid off). I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience using one... especially for astrophotography but also for general use.

Of course the main appeal is that I can use the lenses from my Pentax K1000 on it... but it sounds like a pretty good setup too.

I'm really looking forward to it... and hopeful (though not optimistic) that I can have it paid off before heading to Warnambool for a friends wedding (as we plan to drive home that night... and there should be some nice dark skies out that way.
