Hi all
I know there's a lens section but I get easily confused (am very new to all this) and so wanted to ask the question here, where it might have more relevance:
I'm looking to get a fixed lens for low-light portrait photography without flash (already have the lens it came with, 18-55 zoom and got a Pentax 55-300 zoom as well for landscape and wildlife) for the k-r, and found this...
pentax smcp-fa 50mm f/1.4 lens
Pentax SMC 50mm f1.4 FA Lens: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
My (perhaps simple) questions are:
A) is it compatible with the k-r?
B) if so, does anyone have experience of using it for what I'm describing?
C) if compatible, what functions are disabled/different when using the camera compared to the lenses I already use (other than zoom obv!)?
Many thanks for any light people can shed on the matter (pun not intended!)
