A few have recommended the D FA 21mm. Let me be clear I do not want this lens, as wonderful as it may be. I want to do a SIC in the next couple of months in a field of view range I do not feel comfortable with, in this case the 35mm equivalent on APSC, any use on the K1 as a wide angle is just a bonus really. There is every likelihood of the lens being moved on after the SIC month.

Originally posted by clackers That extra 4mm of 24mm can be hard to keep up the image quality on full frame. I do have both a Sigma 24mm f1.8 and a Samyang 24mm f1.4, in an effort to do that, they're big.
28mm is traditionally easier to engineer and keep the cost down ... I love my K 28mm f3.5, and it's small.
I do have the little 24mm f2.8 and my copy at least is not sharp.
Point 1. Indeed, and I don't really need the speed.
Point 2. Yes the K 28mm f3.5 is a great lens, though I would not class it as small. I love mine too, especially as a standard lens on the K3.
Point 3. I did have a Sigma 24mm f2.8 MF lens years ago and on film I found it to be perfectly good,
but when I tried it on my K3 I was very disappointed with it.
