Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy your new camera. What lens did you end up getting. The kit lens?

I bought the body only. The lens is the FA 50mm F1.4.

This one is on it's way to me.

I wish there was a fitted leather case like the old style ones from the original Pentax K1000.

Congrats Ed. I also got mine two weeks ago, along with a 77/1.8. Have been busy shooting these past weeks.

Enjoy your new toy.

Nice.

I wish the Black 77mm Limited was available in the USA. The silver one just doesn't match the all black *ist DS.

Gotta love the bokeh.

Just came across the serious toy, the Mamiya ZD:

22 megapixel and 645 optics in a 35mm SLR body, anyone?? The ZD Back adds 22 megap digital to almost all Mamiya medium format cameras.

Hey, speaking of DSLRS, I should be picking up my Nikon D70 next week. I'll post pics when I do...

 

[Edwood]

You might want to wait on getting a D70, there are rumors flying about a possible D50 and D70s models coming out soon.

Of course it is pretty close to April 1.

I've been eyeing the 77mm Limited Lense in Black. Too bad it's not available in the United States in Black.

I may have to ask a Head-fier in Japan to buy one on my behalf.

Must resist.......I did say I was going to keep my camera purchases under control?

Control????? What's tat??!

You're in the wrong forum! Head-fi + "control" = mental explosion!

Looks like the rumors are confirmed. No release date yet.

Control, not going to happen. Camera gear is even easier to spend money on that hi-fi gear. Lets see, quick check of inventory, 5 camera bodies, 14 lenses, two extenders, two flashes, one tripod, one ballhead, one monopod, filters, extension tubes, at least six different camera bags.

Control, yeah right.
