Hi all!
i'm looking at getting a fast prime for those occasions where my main lens won't cut it. (its a DA16-45 f4 btw)
i am regrettably in an area where there isn't a camera shop that stocks pentax within about 400KM, so any purchase would be over the internet. buying a lens sight unseen makes me nervous. even if the supplier is 100% reliable, am i ordering the right one?
That is where the online community will hopefully come to my rescue
I'm after suggestions, comments, experiences on the following;
prime, between, say 20mm and 50mm.
aperture f2.8 or wider
definately AF (i have an old MF one, and MF at f2.8 in low light i find tricky at best. i will completely understand if the camera also has a hard time, but i'd like to have the option)
budget? well not too extravagant. if its going to be too expensive, i might give up on the idea and save up for the DA*50-135 i ALSO want
(sigh! there goes the LBA again)
from my reading, the FA31mm f1.8 would be perfect (if it was about half the price)
the FA50mm f1.4 is a real possibility at the the price. only drawback is 50mm is a little too long for what i'd like.
Thanks for any help
