Laney, at rest

up the elm

I recently got a K 24/2.8 and I am using it on my Sony A7, the only FF digital camera that I have. Before the Pentax I used a Sigma 24/2.8, which is acceptable but very susceptible of getting flare and low contrast as long as there is some front / lateral light. This is the ultimate reason I looked for a SMC wide angle lens, and I am very happy with my decision.

Some stuff with the K24/2.8

A 24 2.8 is a good flower lens

But then, so is the Tokina 24 2.8

And so is the Vivitar (Cosina) 24 2.8...

It's hard to pick just one

thank you - we hand-raise our chickens so that, if need be, it's easier to pick one up for inspection....

all of our chickens will meet us at the gate to their pen, expecting attention/food...

Of my 3000 images exactly 4 are taken at 24mm, all with the 18-135.I clearly need a 24mm prime. It's award number to set.
