i am full of BS
... if you look at my postings you'll see that i've said that i want to get a DA40, FA31, A50 1.2, Nokton 58mm ... i'm lucky enough that i have some extra change to spend on lenses for a growing hobby and after hanging around on the forums, it's easy to get carried about LBA and forgot why i chose pentax to begin with, to get a solid travel package.
i hope to take a lot of photos when i travel, but i don't want to lug a big lens bag around with me all the time. i reached a bit of a revelation when i read someone on Photo.net had travelled only with a DA21 and DA70. i have a DA21, which i really hope to start exercising. onto the questions:
1. stop down metering in low light - how accurate is this in really dark places? i really like my M50 1.4, but e.g. in a well lit restaurant last weekend, it would always underexpose, drastically
2. does it make sense to go with a da21 + m50 + da70 combo
3. da70, good lens for candids? i'm kinda scared to do in your face street photography, but i'm hoping with some distance and faster AF, i can try it out
as an aside comment i really like the 30mm (35mm equivalent) focal length, i would love to use the FA31 on compact FF body, but who knows when that will happen. and we can say now that such a lens may never be produced again, but maybe it will, or newer better lenses may be out (DA* 30?). as much as i'd like to use it, doesn't make much sense to buy a lens now to use 5-10 years later.
hopefully i don't change my mind too quickly, thanks for any help
