Hey all - it's been a while since I've been here. The last few years I tucked my hobby away and had two kids, and I just got back from a vacation where I realized that this is something I want to pick up again. So, of course, it got me thinking lens setups.
I'm really stuck at what direction I want to go with equipment and need some advice. First, here's what I have in the lens lineup that is worth mentioning.
DA21
DA40
A50 F/2
FA50 F/1.4
Sigma 18-50 F/2.8
Sigma 105 F/2.8 macro
I lost my DA70 a while back and never replaced it since at the time is was pretty pricey. So, I've been wanting to replace it, and what I think I'm really after is a good basic prime setup for travel, outdoor (landscape, adventure, nature, etc) and family pics. I've done several trips with primes only and it seems to work really well. In fact, I did a trip to Europe with the 21 and 70 and that's it, and it was totally fun. I like small and light and high quality construction that's going to last for a long time. So, with the news of a pentax FF, I'm somewhat at a cross roads. Here are my options:
Option 1: stick with DA lenses and finish the line up (15/21/40/70). I may ditch the sigma zoom (good lens, but a little bulky). I may also replace the sigma macro with the new DFA 100 macro. This would leave me with a setup that has all 49mm filters and very small and light.
Option 2: just plan to jump ship to FF and get the 3 FA limiteds. I'd sell everything else except the DA 21 and probably sigma macro.
Option 3, 4, 5, 6... some combo of the above or something else entirely.
So, what would you do? I'm in no rush to decide. I will definitely not be buying the first FF body that comes out though - I'd most likely wait until version 2, if that makes a difference.
