I am blessed to own a K-5 and did not get a kit lens with it. I like primes having a Pentax 100mm Macro and an old M 50mm f 1.7 and I
LIKE them.
So- I do not at this time care to purchase any of the available standard zooms and chose to shoot with primes. I was hoping to get some advice as to which of the following three lenses would be ideal as a walk around based on the users personal experience with any or all of these lenses.
I like to zoom with my feet.
Here is my list: and my thoughts:
Sigma 30 mm f 1.4 fast, but maybe to wide.
Pentax DA 35 mm Limited Macro f 2.8 - sharp enought to hurt youself and built like a tank. May be the ideal focal length but not that fast but it is on a K-5 so no big deal.
Pentax DA 40mm Limited - already have a 50mm but it is MF
Price is not of consideration as I consider these to me all in the same order of magnitude. I don't think I can save enough pennies for the Pentax FA 31mm f1.9
I shoot mostly landscapes.
Also have a K200D and a Sigma 10-20 mm UWA which are fantastic
I would love to hear thoughts from those that have used any or all of these.
Yes, I have read all the reviews and have done more pixel peeping than any human being should.
TIA for any and all comments.
