yup, i might just buy the red kit lens once available. if the red kit lens will be price as the same as the other colors then the price diff is not that much if i buy the single kit lens and 55-300mm separately compare buying the 2-lens kit.

Scorpioh, that's a very poisonous sting. Let him enjoy a little before he gets the "primes" poison. All he has to do is go to this very innocent looking site and check all the prime lenses. :bsmilie:
haha... i'm faster than that. =) bought a pentax A-50/2 and Super Tak 50/1.4 online the very next day after getting my 28-200 :bsmilie: now waiting for my old primes to come, den i will be able to see first hand what the fuss over biting sharp images using primes is all about =P
good good. Seriously, one of the main attraction of Pentax is the range of primes. Optics apart, socially speaking, when u use prime, you feel much more pro. Ha. Maybe that's me. When you lend ur friend your camera, then they may try frantically to turn the focus ring to zoom. Then you start to explain its a prime lens and bla bla bla. Feels good ah. Ha. Also, prime usually quite small, unlike those Canikon big boombastic lenses. Makes you feel unique and special holding a prime mounted camera. Plus its a Pentax, feels damn "cult" too!
Hahahaha... like Fengwei said, the most important thing is to have fun even with cheapy 50/f2 primes - you can have a lot of fun shooting bokehs that are silky, creamy, and beautiful.
Definitely go the the link above to get a rough idea of the lenses before you throw money into it. That's because if you buy a dud prime, you have to find another unsuspecting consumer to buy it off you. And us Pentaxians are too discerning to be duped (well at least not twice) :bsmilie:
With primes, figure out what you like to shoot most and zoom in on the lenses you need. Only buy those that you really use. So far, a 50/1.4 or 50/1.7 is standard prime to have.
Oh, and they are really sharp and fast too.
I think people tend to think that your a pro if they see you holding 5kg set with a lens as big as a bazooka.
Prime users have this handsome look especially if they have a silver 77 mounted on K-7 :bsmilie:

What about a brand new in box limited edition LX + Pentax-A 50mm f1.2?

My experience at Alan Photo - Funan
One male - bo chap, another male gave me a horrendous tourist pricing.
Most friendly is the "lady" - no need to negotiate and gave me the best price and explain the details of the camera I am interested in. So it depends on who you talk to.

I had a pleasant experience at AP Funan too. Lady is OK, the tall chap (Joseph?) is friendly, patient and not pushy at all. Pricing was pretty firm but very good -- I did my research before I went down and theirs was the best price for the item I was looking for. I was there twice trying out the item before finally buying, and both times, same consistent level of service from the chap. I've read quite a number of posts on negative experiences there, but well ... not for me.

prime users all got good figure and handsome. zoom users all burly and muscular.

Nice... but $5000 for this camera and lens, is erm.... way beyond my humble budget. :bsmilie:
wow...LNIB really no joke! it really looks like its brand new and out only yesterday. Such a beautiful photo! But $5K means its not priced to go...
But $5K means its not priced to go...Try to ask if anyone interested in the kit/dual kit lens? Then you can buy the camera and sell the lens to them. But the kit lens is value for money. maybe you should just keep it as its easier to sell to newbies next time when you upgrade to K8.
