Randy, after reading this I realized how much you might be regretting not picking up those 28's I got. I think it is the range you are looking for.

Hang tight, my friend! I've been looking around town ever since and I will find you something.

thank you everyone so far for the valuable input. much appreciated!!

Alvin, I have no regretts as far as the 28mm lenses...anything for a friend

I do have my sigma 17-70 that will more then do a great job....
this post is more about putting "feelers" out on what is a good lens to buy in the future.
but if you find a good wide angle, don't be afraid to let me know.
the biggest stoper to my LBA is the female very close by

Look for an old 16mm or 17mm prime. There are bound to be some K mount or M42 decent primes laying about.

Randy,

I lost track of this thread, and I'm in bigtime catch up mode. I'm guessing you might be looking for a fisheye right now (Zenitar? I've got the 10-17!), but I don't want to feed both of our LBA's right now, nor do we want to upset our significant others

BTW - my wifey found out about the lenses and finally drummed up the question - how much?

She was surprised when I told her I got them for very attractive prices. So thank you again
