Originally posted by mikecnorthwest I'm looking for a wide angle general purpose "walk around" lens for my newly purchased K-70. I bought the 18-135 WR lens with the camera but want a wide angle lens that has a much lower profile (length). I've done a little research and my choice at this point is the Pentax DA 35mm 2.4.
I'm open to any other suggestions in both Pentax and non-Pentax lenses, as well as new and used lenses. I thought I'd post here before I make my purchase in case I'm missing something.
is your concern size, weight and wide angle
cost
rating
what ?
are you interested in APS-C only or wanting a lens that would work with a full frame as well
* or limited lenses
the more specific you can be, the better the response you might get
have you looked at the review of Pentax and 3rd Party zooms under " Lenses " above ?
some are just " user reviews "
SMC Pentax-DA 35mm F2.4 AL Reviews - DA Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database
and others are " In Depth Reviews "
