Hello there! I just pre-ordered the Pentax K1, i have never been so hyped about getting a camera, like this time!
Ive been a dedicated hobby/enthusiast photographer for around 10 years, but have been without a camera the last year (1 1/2). I shoot "everything". I put it like that, because i dont like to limit myself. If im watching some live
happening/sports, ofc im gonna shoot it. If im in the forest hunting, ofc my camera is with me. If im on a relaxing holiday at the cabin, ofc my camera is with me. If im at the beach flyfishing ofc the camera is with me!
I know the K1 won't be the "best" sports-shooter, i know the K1 isnt launched with a bunch of lenses in different price ranges, i know the K1 doesnt have video (i know it has 1080p 30 frames, but that is so old and outdated it qualifies as no video in my book). BUT, ive weighted up what's important for me, and that is IQ, resolution, i love zooming in admire details etc. The part about shooting i love the most, is landscape, architecture, portraits, sunsets, horizons, some macro and just being creative and create something beautiful. And for this, the Pentax K1 seems like the ULTIMATE camera for me, atleast with its starting price.
So heres my "dilemma" or question. I'm on a tight budget and been saving for some time for a new camera. And even still I'm somewhat over my budget ordering the k1 body. But i have no glass. And i prolly cant afford more than this ONE starter lens for atleast the first 5-6 months, so im thinking about getting the new 28 105 3.5 5.6 since the samples ive seen looks rather good. But i know there are some sigma alternatives aswell. So my question is;
What should i do with glass? What can keep me happy and "work" for me, the first months with this camera. The fa43 ltd is rather expensive at my local dealer. And lastly i AM AFRAID that the future of this ecosystem wont provide much more good new glass for ff at consumer level, with lower pricing. Since i have nothing to start with.
So what do you think, what should i pick up as my very first lens, and are u guys sure Pentax/ricoh will make sure to push out more options in glass in diff price ranges after a while?
