Hi all
so..I recently accelerated my interest in photography, and toe-tested this by picking up a k100 and dump load of accessories from a friend (who was upgrading) for a reasonable $200.
After a few months of playing, I'm ready to admit I want to take this to the next level. I'm fortunate enough with my current job to allow me the time to develop this hobby into a side-line and envision myself being comfortable enough (in the near future) with my skills to start doing work for people.
If I'm going to take this seriously, I'm making the assumption I'm going to need a better system.
I want to stay with Pentax. I fell in love with the intuitive use of the k100, and also the flexibility in lenses is a boon.
My initial urge is to take up the seemingly good deals on eBay for the k20 body plus a few bells and whistles and little toys. This bundle runs at $860, and includes a Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6.
Are my assumptions on needing a better camera in order to make this step correct?
Is the example bundle a decent deal?
I am, of course aware I will have to up the quality of my lenses also...but first things first. Or am I taking the last thing first in this case?
TIA
Steve
