Dear Pentaxian Fellows,
I just joined the Pentax Forums about a month ago and totally enjoy the camaraderie. A month ago, I bought the K-5 after struggling with the idea to to get a K-5 II instead. I also had the DA 55-300. Thanks to the feedback on the forums, I felt that I got a good lens for the money. Now I am looking for a medium range prime/fixed lens. Due to my limited budget, I narrow my choice to DA 35 2.8 macro, DA 40 2.8, FA 43 1.9. Some day I will get the DA 12-24 and DA* 50-135. Eventually I feel like I should go with the FA 43 due its reputation for SHARPNESS, contrast and color saturation. Especially it also works with a FF.
1. Does FA 43 has any limitations on a K-5 body?
2. There is some complaints about too narrow DOF. Can the problem be improved by aperture setting?
3. Do you think this plan will work for family activities around the house, street, travel and landscape?
4. Is there a better choice?
Thanks everyone!
