Originally posted by axl Many people, many opinions but let's see if "pentaxians" can find any sort of consesus.
What would be the best wide angle fast or fast-ish prime to sit between my DA40 (which I love btw) and Sigma 10-20
To direct you toward the answers:
forget the zooms (I know there are good options out there but I want to go prime)
FA35 is too close to 40
FA31ltd is way out of budget
DA21ltd is too close to 10-20
Don't mind M but prefer A or FA or DA
...
so what's the best, reasonably priced 20 to 30 mm f2.8 or faster prime out there?
TIA

Adjust your budget, get creative, sell some stuff on flea-bay, sell some blood, a kidney... Get the FA31ltd while you still can. You won't regret it, best $850US I ever spent.
That said, Pentax doesn't have any current lens in your range, as you know. I would probably try to get a FA28 but they are hard to find and not cheap for used product.
I have heard raves about the Sigma 28mm 1.8 but have heard focus problems as well as wide open softness. Have you heard that the FA31ltd is incredibly sharp at 1.8? Just checking.
