Hey,
I'm considering a second hand K-1 to replace my K-5.
If I do so, I'll have to replace a bunch of lenses however even if newer acquisitions may not be THE lens I'd want.
I currently own, FF compatible or near:
Sigma 18/3.5 MF
Sigma 28/1.8 'macro'
Pentax F 28/2.8
Pentax DA 40/2.8
Pentax DA 50/1.8
Pentax FA 50/1.4
Pentax F 35-70/3.5-3.5 'macro'
Penrax FA 28-80/3.5-4.7 (but that one has been dropped years ago so I dunno, needs testing).
and a bunch of old manual lenses, useful but a lot less for tracking the 1 year daughter (in a week)
I'd like to get the DFA kit with the K-1 but I'd be very surprised if I could afford it, the K-1 being already a huge financial effort.
So the real question is: are the two little zoom at least useable (not ideal, I know) on the K-1 or is this really stupidly throwing away the quality the K-1 could get me with other (affordable) lenses ?
And what little tele zoom should I get (the 50-300 PLM I suppose) ?
Of course I can sell a few DA lenses but I doubt I'll get much money with those:
K5 (and cheap chinese grip)
DA16-45
DA 50-200
DA*50-135
If any of you has a piece of advice... THANKS !
