Hmm, point taken. In truth, I would love the FX 14mm but can't spend the money right now. I can afford a used EX-1 and I have the A*85/1.4 sitting in my bag. I tend to use that lens wide open, so the X-E1 would seem to provide a suitable platform on which to receive the photons. Similarly, the 17/4 is a wacky, weird and wonderful lens (anyone here ever used one? it is so much fun) and again, would find use on the X-E1. When I can afford the 14mm then I've got AF and all the delights that brings. Matched up with an X100s, it would be a lovely combination of hardware. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
