After a couple days of hard thinking, I’ve decided to keep the Pentax K20D and the 16-50/2.8 zoom. The autofocus, after some practice, actually isn’t as bad as I first thought (though it’s a lot slower than Canon). But overall I love the camera, for its handling, quality feel, and great images.

I also spent some time today shooting with my old SMC-M 135/3.5 lens, which was fun. It’s a sharp piece of glass and very light in weight.

And the other news is on the software front: I’ve been playing with Adobe Lightroom on free trial. Very impressive. May have to buy it.
