Im sorry for any confusion. In my attempt to find a new lens I have realized that what I want is really not possible. However, I am still in the market for a new lens. The 2 lenses I have (f1.4 50mm + 55-300) do not let me focus in on a subject that are close to me; be it a butterfly on a rock, or my son's face. I feel that I am a bit limited with these two lenses. Sooo, any advice on a lens,zoom or prime, lens that will let me capture images that are close up.
Thanks

Sounds like I should choose 1 or the other. So having said that, I have the 50mm 1.4 which does not give me much of a zoom. Is there a lens similar tongue 50mm that also has some zoom capability, not like the 55-300, but mire than the 50mm. Thanks for all of your advice.

Currently have f1.4 50mm & 55-300mm. I like the aperture range on the 50mm and the ability to focus on far objects of the 55-300mm. Is there lens that has both of those qualities. I'm using a kx.

Hello,
I am looking for a new lens that will give me the versatility to zoom in on an object at close range, as well as focus in on something in the distance. Most of my pictures I take are of my children. Is there such a lens that I could use to take pictures of my flowers in the day, and at a wedding during the night?
Thanks,
Dan

I have found a 1.4 50mm lens for sale from an older 35mm pentax. The owner doesnt seem to think it is compatible with my digital kx. I was led to believe it wouldnt matter? Any thoughts are appreciated. He also is selling a SMC 35-70mm lens, which I looked up on the lens review pages, but didnt seem to learm much. If anyone has info on that lens it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks
Dan

In regards to why, I prefer candid, close up shots. I feel that the 18-55mm lens has me right next to the subject Im shooting, taking away the spontaneity of the shot. I also feel that with the 55-300mm lens, I am always wanting less aperture then the lens will allow.
Thanks for all your advice.

New to the forum as well as photography. Recently purchased a pentax kx with the 18-55mm and 55-300mm lenses. Have been taking tons of pictures, mostly of my daughter and am feeling that a different lens would be more appropriate for my needs, Im thinking of a portrait lens. Because I just got the camera I dont want to spend to much more money on a lens. Does anyone have a suggestion on a lens taht would be more appropriate for my needs on a limited budget, no more than $300. Willing to by used.
Thanks.
