Hi folks, I'm hoping to get some opinions on Pentax MF lens choices. Here's my dilemma....
Let's assume I can afford one and only one used lens for a 6x7 -- for the time being -- with my choice at the moment being either an SMCT 105/2.4 or an SMCT 90/2.8 LS. Seems like the 105/2.4 would be a good "normal" lens. However, the 90/2.8 LS -- perhaps USD $150 higher than a used 105/2.4 in similar condition? -- would give me flash sync across the entire shutter speed range of the camera body (a feature I might use often), as well as the ability to do multiple exposures (a feature I might not use too often, but possibly once in a while). Given that I'd probably get only a single lens for now, does it make sense to spend the extra money and make my only lens a leaf shutter? Or does it make more sense to get the 105/2.4 for the time being, forgoing the added functionality of the leaf shutter? Does the fact that the body is non-MLU factor into this choice at all? I'd appreciate any comments from those of you who've had a chance to use these two lenses for walking-around, handheld (or monopod-mounted) photography with a 6x7. What do you think? Thanks in advance for your help!
