After I got my K-1 I sold most of my APS-C gear. I didn't want to, but I promised to do that for wife-aproval-purposes.
Ever since then I've been missing the DA 15mm limited. I knew I like that focal length, but didn't realize that I would miss it so much. Anyway, I'm now looking for a 20mm lens for my K-1. But now I don't know what to get...
- I can get the Pentax SMC FA 20mm. It doesn't cost much, gets good reviews. And I can have it now.
- I can wait for the 21mm limited. Which can still take a while until it hits the market. And I'm guessing that we will be lucky if its going to cost around 1250 USD.
- And then there's the Pentax SMC FA* 24mm, not as wide, but gets better reviews then the 20mm.
- Off brand options confuse me even more. I saw some extremely wide options from Irix. 11mm and 15mm. But the reviews are a bit strange. The blackstone and firefly have the same optical formula, but the reviews claim that the blackstone versions have better optical performance.
What would you guys do in my place?
