Yup, I am a big fan of the 18-55 (still have one) and then I bought the 16-85.....but like you said, primes remind you how even better a shot can be...D-FA 100 macro and DA14mm being two favs right now
Yes, I know the 16-85 is a great improvement, but since moving into the 645D and Z, I just switch over to one of those instead of trying to improve my K-mount image quality. For the best K-mount image quality, I go for the 50mm f 2.8 macro, one of the 31-43-77 trio, or the FA* 85mm f 1.4. I have not become a great fan of zoom lenses, though I realize there are some really great ones in the Pentax lineup.

I notice in the teapot reflection, you have a towel over the camera. Is that to help you see through the viewfinder? Or to block light from entering the viewfinder?

I do?

(looks at photo)

I think you're seeing the pale skin-tones of a sun-starved photographer - those are my hands/arms that you're seeing in that reflection....

From yesterday's stroll in Poitiers center ... Rollei RPX 100 via a Canonet QL17 wide open at f/1.7. Home developed last night in Caffenol CH for 15 minutes ... with scan via Epson V600 and minor tweaks in Lr4. (x-post from B&W film thread)
