Walt, you can have SMCP DA 16-45/4 for like USD 250. It shows every now
and then on PentaxForums market place. My encounter with this lens back
in 2008 has convinced me that it was quite an excellent optic. With 16
mm at wide end you will get FOV similar to that of 24 mm lens on film
which is pretty wide.

. . . and give me your thoughts.
Say you're going to be leaving for the Black Hills of South Dakota in a
little over a month and have an extremely limited budget. I'm quite
literally saving up the quarters from my tips (along with everything
else that I can) to finance it. But, you want to make sure that you get
some images worthy of the trip.
I'll be taking all of my camera bodies with me -- K-x, K20D, K100D Super
-- and plan to use my Promaster 70-300 as a zoom, at least one of my
50mm primes, and I'd like to have something wider for landscapes. I have
a Takumar 28/2.8, but it's really a pretty crappy lens compared to the
others.
What would be the best, most affordable option -- best bang for the
lowest buck -- for the wider landscapes? All I really care about is the
focal length and IQ -- everything else is mere window dressing as far as
I'm concerned. I'm essentially looking for something very common and
highly regarded.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
