Yes, I should have said, shouldn't I? Well, I was sort of leaving that open. Seriously, if someone could persuade me that $700 was actually worth it (the more expensive of the two Pentax?), then I guess I would actually even give that a lot of consideration. (My problem, being in Hobart, is the extreme difficulty of trying before buying.) It isn't that hard to justify a good zoom, I figure, if it can replace two or three other EPs. Otherwise, a sensible restriction would be sub-$500. Really, if you could graph such a thing, I'd be looking for where the value line crosses the quality line.
Just so you know, I'm pretty set at 5 (LVW), 10 (XW). I'm planning to swap my 12mm Nagler for a 17 at some point. And I'm happy enough with my cheaper long FL EPs.
Cheers,
Brian.
