2011 LBA...

Just sold a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 because I didn't find it 'wide' enough,
and now thinking my DA 12-24mm f4 isn't 'fast' enough (night pics)

Chances are very good I might be buying a DA 14mm f2.8 soon!

• D FA 100mm Macro WR
• ZEISS 50MM F/2 ZK MAKRO-PLANAR T*
• Pentax K5

My LBA/CBA tells me that once I buy all the items above I will be completely 100% cured for good. It always tells me that.

[Bart]

Nothing. :ugh:
How refreshing is that?

[repaap]

For me:
Grip for K-7,
FA 31
DA 15
M 85 or A 100
And DA* 300
And have to see what is that DA 12-35 WR going to look like. ...

Sigma 8-16mm, because you can never have too many UWA lenses, right?
Tamron 90mm Macro, because I've wanted one for years & for some reason I've never pulled the trigger.

LBA for 2011 (or til the next year or 2)
DA 15 Limited
FA 43 Limited
Cosina 55 f1.2
K135 f2.5

It won't happen - FA 77.

But I think I won't be buying any lenses for a long time, until I can afford things like the FA 77.

[G_Money]

Maybe if I saw an FA*600 or an FA*250-600 the collector in me might be tempted, but I don't foresee that happening. I did see an FA*300 f/2.8 the other day that has me thinking, but it's 3.5x the price of a DA*300. Can that be rationalized?

I barely have the time to use the stuff that I have now. Maybe I should look into time management.

[v5planet]

Oh gosh.

DA 15
and
D-FA 100 WR
are both definitely on the LBA list...

An expanded "wish list", though, includes:
DA* 50-135 and the FA 77. Just a dream, though.

[Arpe]

Pentax 70-200/f2.8. Oh wait, they don't make one.
Pentax 1.4x TC. Oh wait, they don't make one.
How about a Sigma HSM compatible 1.4x TC. Oh wait, they don't make one.
Ah yes, the Sigma 120-300/f2.8! Cheap as chips.

[selar]

I just scratched my 2011 itch - just bought a K-x, and very happy with it too.

[Eagle_Friends]

A K5 for sure

Maybe the 50-135mm, but definitely the FA 77mm

[Loren E]

Sigma 8-16mm! I am really excited about getting this lens. The only real downside is the lack of weather-sealing, so here is to hoping that Pentax wakes up and makes a DA* UWA! (maybe even figure out how to get down to 8mm as well)

[Digitalis]

.> FA43 - the FA31's main competitor. the resolution at wide open is astounding and make it difficult for me to choose, if not only for the focal length hiccup

Actually I skipped the FA43 and went straight to the 50mm f/1.2 - the super-speed 50 is sharper than the FA43 in the corners at f/2 at f/4 they are basically the same. the FA31 is the real gem of the FA limited line up IMO.


as for me;

CBA : Pentax 645 Digital - I already have a ton of 645 and 67 lenses, I have the adaptor to use the 67 lenses on 645. So all that i'm doing now is saving up for it.

LBA: the recently announced Pentax SMC-645 25mm f/4 AL [IF] SDM

[Ken T]

K-5
50-135
Some other lenses are for later years .
