Originally posted by Paul the Sunman Which lens? Something to match with the K3iii? The DA* 11-18 is attractive, but I don't really NEED it; happy with the DA 15 on APS-C. Otherwise, I'm pretty well set up for crop shooting.
I wanted to get so many when I saw the discount price alas rationality is the approach to take and find the best option is what I went with. I thought the D-FA* 85 was the one to go with as it's a lot of coin with the discount and whilst I want to throw my hard earned towards Ricoh/Pentax I've found that >$3k for a prime was more than I'd want to spend. So for me it was take it or maybe give up on this one altogether.
The annoying thing is finding out now that the K-3 III is now searchable and if I'd have know that earlier I'd be saying me too for one of those kits. Will have to see about that as that's a similarly big expense and if they honour that 15% how cool will that be.
Some icing on top for me is the two weeks off I have planned last week of April, first week of May. If I can pick up a Mk 3 that means having a new toy and the chance to actually use it. Mind you, the 85 is already in the mail so if I don't get to line up the Mk 3 then I will have a new toy to use anyway.
