Sell or stay

Well sorry guys, but i didnt take your advice, and you'll probably be hearing me beating at myself for selling it, I simply dont have the money to keep the lense and still buy the camera, there is no way at all. Well anyway, it will give me a great amount to add to my camera fund, so i hope it all works out. Either way, im pretty sure im going to go with the Pentax *ist DL

One of the reasons I thought you should keep the lenses is I am guessing the optics on those old primes are better than the kit lens you'll probably get with the *ist DL. The kit lens I used when I tested the original Pentax *ist D was pretty good, though. So maybe you'll be ok.

If at all possible, spend the extra cash to get the 16-45 lens instead of the 18-55 or whatever it is. It's well worth the price.

And some of the older Pentax lenses are the best ever made, think twice before you sell off your older Penax lenses. The 135mm lens goes for more than the quote they gave you, but they need to mark it up to sell it. You'd get a whole lot more on ebay than at KEH.

Well guys, i made the stupid decission, and their gone. Yes, i probably got really ripped off, but its gone and done with, so there isnt anything else i can do, besides doing what i said before i would do, which is beating myself up for it. There is no "extra money" Im still $385 away from being able to purchase the camera, and that 385 means a long time for me. Thanks for all the input anyhow.
