My bag currently has the following, a couple of K-5s (classic type) and a few primes. This morning I decided to do a quick average of my lens ratings and from a set of 7 lens, I came to an average value of 9.59
K35 f/3.5 - 9.74
K55 f/1.8 - 9.41
A50 f/1.2 - 9.43
FA31 f/1.8 - 9.47
FA43 f/1.9 - 9.57
FA50 f/1.7 - 9.7
FA77 f/1.8 - 9.79
Some observations:
FA77 Limited is probably the best design overall (tend to agree, but are not telephotos easiest to design?
) + its a very pretty lens
FA50 f/1.7 and K35 f/3.5 - very highly rated, I wonder if sharpness is
THE big driver for some?
FA31 f/1.8 This is an interesting one, urban myths about the MiJ vs MiV, big and bulky front element, useless hood, but cost is holding it down ratings wise methinks
K55 f/1.8, my favourite sleeper lens, cheap, lovely wide open, just keep it at wider than f.2.8 and the bokeh is painting like
F43 f/1.9 hmm, I sometimes forget I have this, but when I put it on it never disappoints, the forgotten Limited?
A50 f/1.2 For me, Pentax's best 50 bar none, sorry and nobody will ever convince me otherwise
Anyone agree, disagree? Anyone want to steal my bag?
