LBA!

In the Pentax community, there's a phenomenon they call LBA. It is short for Lens Buying Addiction. It is very real, and I think I have it...

I'm currently looking at eventually getting a 50mm prime lens, a Sigma 10-20mm and a Sigma 17-70mm lens. I'll probably get the prime first given that it would be nice to have a really fast lens, plus the Pentax 50mm/1.4 is relatively inexpensive. The 17-70mm has a bit more reach than the kit 18-55mm I have and it's really sharp and a fair bit faster to boot. The 10-20mm is just crazy wide (102 degrees!), I've seen some really breathtaking pictures taken with it and I think it would be a great addition to my kit.

The downside to all this is that lenses are all quite expensive so it might be some time until I get any. I'm not unhappy with my kit lenses mind you, I think they're both really good lenses, it's just that I think the other lenses will more accommodate my shooting style.
