Likewise for the 280mm f/4 APO. The difference between the current value and what I paid for mine six years ago would pay for a DMR @ current market value.... BTW, as far as the M lenses are concerned, I am telling everyone that I only rented them because they all appreciated in value. In fact, the increased value of my lenses compensates for the loss in value of the M8 and M8.2. And assuming I would have invested the money in stock at the beginning of 2007, I did way better....
Very cool!checking out the weather sealing of the S2...

Did you still keep the K5 and glass?Kurt, Peter,
the problem is that so far the S2 AF works quite a bit better than I had expected. Also I get along pretty good with the user interface of the S2. One thing I dont like is the AF-button a little bit too far on the left for my hands, but its ok. I do like the 70mm focal length a lot-just right for my taste.
If the price was 70% of what it is I would immediatly get one.
But with the real price I am still "fighting" my stomach desire vs my brain decision (which says the S2 is just too expensive and I shall try to make the A900 work for me for high res images).
However the desire for S2 allready helped me to reduce my gear collection (allready sold some things I dont use much).
+ another 2!+2.
It feels like these mountain shots could benefit from a high quality UV filter (?).

Peter, I havent given up on the K5 yet. I have the sensor "dirt"problem and my K5 will be replaced. Also Pentax said the AF shall be improved with next firmware so I will give it a chance. Also depends what happens with my other stuff.Did you still keep the K5 and glass?
