Originally posted by twilhelm At the last wedding I did, my most used combinations were the 50-135 on the K-3 and the 20-40 on the K-1. The 20-40 is very useable on the K-1 from about 24-36, and wide open to about f/11. You can push it to 22mm, but expect to do some PP work on vignetting.
I really liked the results with the 20-40 on the K-1. If I have a little time this afternoon, I’ll sit down at my computer and post a couple here.
Thanks, I would appreciate that.
Originally posted by dcpropilot The 20-40 is an awesome APSC lens, but I think the 24-70 would be more useful on both the KP and K-1 given that it's FF and greater FL range. I find that the range of 24-70 very useful for for me on my K-3.
Of course the 24-70 is the better choice, it's also 3x the price!
In an ideal world you'd wield a 24-70 and a 70-200, but I don't have $4700 floating around lol.
I just can't see me pulling my 85/1.4 off that much from the K-1. The widest lens I have is a ff 24mm (SMC-Pentax-A 24/2.8), and I find that MF with a wide lens is way harder, I'm kinda thinking that anything getting wide needs AF at an event, so I'm researching my options.
The widest AF lens for APS-C I have is a DA 40 XS, which ironically I get a wider FoV with it sitting on the K-1, but I really want the 85/1.4 on that camera, it leaves the KP with only 40mm, which is the narrow end of the wide spectrum I'm looking for...
Can you whack a Sigma Art 35/1.4 on an APS-C (KP) and get wider? I need to go find that reference chart thing again...
I see the Sigma 17-50/2.8 gets nice attention, but it is only APS-C, I would like to have something interchangeable if possible...
