Norm, I shoot 100% of my weddings with a K-5. Admittedly, most of my colleagues/friends are shooting them at least with FF or MF, but I have never had a situation yet where the resulting images from my K-5 have been a source of disappointment to my clients or not able to server their needs.

Thanks everyone! Well, my new DA* 55mm arrived today. :) I went with the 55 for all of the reasons mentioned above - and most particularly as I was shooting a wedding last weekend in the rain, and whilst my body (K5) is good to go, none of my lenses but the 18-55 kit lens that came on my K7 body is up to the task. I still have my trusty FA 50mm/1.7 which equates to 75mm on my current body, so a little less than the 55mm, and combined with the rest of my kit, gives me a pretty awesome coverage for most of my requirements as a people photographer.
In saying that, I am still going to get the 43mm - I am seriously holding out home for FF one of these days, so would like it in my kit for the precise reasons that Bing mentioned above.
I also picked up the DA 12-24mm/f4 today, so I am going to have a great play at this coming weekend's wedding! Can't wait.

Oh cool, thanks guys. :)
Adam - I didn't realise there was such a lens? do you mean the 50-135mm/f2.8? I already have a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 that I use for the long end, but I'm not overly keen on zooms really. I considered the DA* 16-50mm 2.8 too but there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews so I am sticking with my primes for now. Just means I have to use my legs and carry more gear. :) Will definitely keep an eye out for that review and also go over to the DA* lens club thread as Sandy suggested. Thanks so much. :)

Hi guys,
I am urgently looking for a DA 12-24mm/f4 to purchase here in Australia. I am in Brisbane and would prefer one that I can pickup here, but happy to buy interstate too. I have an issue with my current one and it needs work but I have a wedding on Sunday 30th and really need one for that so happy to buy one if I can get it here in time.
Please PM me if you think you can help.
Thanks so much,
Tanya. :)
