Originally posted by excanonfd You don't say what lenses you have, but look at JeffJS' profile for his lens list. He has a definite weakness for high quality primes and his primes alone cover just about any focal length shooting situations. You on the other hand sound as if you are just starting out (Sigma 10-20mm, not withstanding), I would suggest the Tamron zoom over the Pentax 35 for the versatility and very good optical quality. If later on down the road you find yourself shooting with 35mm focal length most of the time, I would think that would be a good time plunk down the money to buy the Pentax 35mm limited.
Thanks,
yup, I am indeed quite new and I definitely forgot to list my lenses!
my lenses are: DAL 18-55mm, M 50mm 1.7, vivitar CF 28mm 2.8, and sigma 10-20mm
the 40mm ltd prime Matt mentioned might come a bit close to my 50mm (although my 50mm is not AF), so I'm tempted to stick in the 35mm focal range.
ugh, yesterday I was leaning towards to 35mm, and now, i'm leaning towards the tamron. I wish there was a place I could just try them both out here (brisbane, Australia), but no one seems to carry many pentax-mount lenses in store here...
