Carl, I just logged on because I am planning to buy a DSLR and fancied a Pentax K r because I have a Pentax film camera and some good lenses. I was going to post a question, does any one have any comment on a pentax Kr which seems to have all the required attributes but all the literature seems to recommend Canon or Nikon and no mention of Pentax. What was your experience with the Pentax and why are you selling it? Anyone else got comment on the choice of DSLR. I have been told that Canon is recommended on the basis that most people (in the US) have Canon and their support and availability of accessories is superior. I have a Meade LX90 ACF, 200mm and a Lunt 60mm DS that Iwant to take photos through. Podger
