Originally posted by Seeck 2 years ago I have sold all my Canon gear (5d mkII / 24mm f1.4 / 17-40mm f4 / 85mm f1,8) to go for the K1 with the 31mm limited.
Yes.. I went from my somewhat ideal set of lenses to - literally - one 'limited' lens. I guess I like limitations from time to time, but after 2 years it's time to think about buying a new lens.
To get some inspiration I am curious to hear about the lenses you all are using and in what situations. Are here also any frequent vintage glass users?
Im curious to hear about your most loved lenses and it's time to confess what your dislikes about them!
I'm a bit late on this but I see this thread is still active so here's my list. My K-1 use is almost exclusively for landscapes and do make some large prints so I value sharpness.
Pentax: The Three Amigos, FA 100 macro, FA 135, DA 300
Tamron: 28-75, 70-200
Other: A built in the Soviet Union 500 mirror lens. I bought this to photograph the solar eclipse and haven't used it
since.
When I purchased the K-1 not long after it was introduced my budget did not allow the purchase of a set of primes then as I would have preferred, so I bought the two Tamrons and a Tokina 20-35. Since then I have been building a prime lens kit slowly, one by one. I still plan to get a DA 200 and a couple of wide angles, probably a FA 20 or 24 (any suggestions between the two?), and probably something in the mid teens like an Irix 15, although I prefer auto lenses (again, any suggestions are welcome). Again, any suggestions. Most of my landscape photography is done in the mountains so I have less need for wide angles than most landscape photographers, thus they are last on the list (and also because all of those remaining lenses are quite expensive, even used).
