Re: Coming to terms with *ist D lens mag factor?

[Robert Gonzalez]

Thats a big "if".  Whats not a big "if" is that I have an *istD now with 
no prime under 85mm and one zoom 15-30 that work with the camera.  So I 
don't need to buy "a bunch of new lenses", I need at least one lens 
somewhere around 28-50 mm to fill that gap.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting either that (FA35/2) or the 16-45 DA 
lens.  My 28 & 50 mm are M lenses, so either I have to use them in 
manual mode, which means a little more hassle and less spontaneity, or I 
have to use my 15-30 or 85 and compensate for my FOV/location somehow. 
But its not the same as having the right lens generally.


If Pentax are to release a 24x36mm CCD some time in the future,
the lense issue will cease to be. I dont see the point in buying
a bunch of new lenses to suit what will be obsolete very soon.
