I have a K20D, and the 18-55 lens that came with it. I also have the 55-300.
I'd like to take portraits of family members and their kids. I also volunteered to take portraits for my kids sport teams as well. The 18-55 is just not fast enough, because at 55mm it doesnt seem to open past f5.6. It'll open to f3.5 at 18mm, but that is just way to wide for my purposes.
Is there a nice, inexpensive lens available that is around 50mm and allows somewhere between f1.4 and f2.8? It doesnt have to be a Pentax lens or a DA lens, I'd just like the electronics to work when I set the aperture. Not looking for a zoom, just fixed.
