Originally posted by RICHARD L. My bad then. I mostly use a Pentax 645Z these days anyway and my "PRIMES" of choice are P67 late-model lenses. I am particularly fond of the P67 75 mm f/2.8 AL and of the P67 165 mm f/2.8 lens, bought new 15 years ago. Both can be used successfully for landscapes starting at f/5.6 and going to f/16. Using primes on a 50 Mpx sensor makes sense whereas a super high quality zoom like the DFA 28-105 mm HD is amply sufficient on a small sensor.
It is until you find f/3.5-5/6 limiting. Like I said, if all you do is stop down to f/11, a coke bottle with a K-Mount is going to meet most every need. If you want to shoot at wider apertures for subject separation, the zoom fails every single time, but a high end prime such as the D FA* 50/1.4 or 85/1.4 sings.
Actually, smaller sensors are far more demanding of lenses than large sensors. The Pentax 645Z has a pixel density of 3.53mp/cm², the K1 is substantially higher density at 4.24mp/cm², the K3III will be 7.11mp/cm², or double the pixel density of the 645Z.
The higher the pixel density, the better the lens needs to be to take full advantage of the sensor.
Also, it appears the OP is not looking at the 645, and is concentrating on 35mm or APS-C, so I'm not sure how a 165 on a 645 equates to what he is asking.
