Originally posted by CharLac 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.
