I hear you GUB - this morning I read a
free article on Andris Apse, who is one of my favourite landscape photographers. Helpfully the article detailed what camera and lens he used for each image.
There were some very nice images made on a Canon 5D2 with a Leica R 28-90 ASPH. Cool, I think - I like Leica R lenses, and they can be adapted to Pentax with a Leitax adaptor. Next step, a quick check on Ebay. Only $8,500 for a lens like that.
So part of me is thinking - far out, that is OTT price wise, and my goodness how well priced Pentax lenses are by comparison. Another part of me is thinking....man that is a nice lens, how can I save for that....
I have concluded there really isn't any cure.....
