I guess the one comparable to 50/1.4 or 1.7 will be the FA31/1.8LE and the FA35/2

What with all the recent discussion on "best" lenses, etc. I've been wondering.... What would make a good "normal" lens for an *istD or *istDS? I'm not looking of "best" but what lenses made by Pentax would give a good image, comparable to something like 50/1.4 or 50/1.7? What wide angle lenses would make good "replacements" For reference, I'm not thinking AF, but rather something older, even screw-mount. To confess, the more I think of adapting an ancient screw-mount lens to digital, the more intriguing it sounds. :-) (partly the beauty of putting such an ancient lens on such modern technology, partly just the challenge of it, and only lastly "price.") :-) In this case, I suppose, the more the merrier, not the _one_ "best." :-D -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
