I am so tempted! For the moment I am holding off. I bought the FA*24/2.0 had for sale here recently (to replace an older version of the same lens that I have had for some time). The 24/2.0 is roughly the middle of the range for the 15-30…
My rationale/plan for camera bodies is that the K-1 will fit the wide end of the various ecological niches available for different cameras. K-1= wide, K-3 = longish, 645Z= mid-range, mostly landscape and macro. My plan is to use the 24/2 as the primary lens on the K-1 for a while and see if I really need something wider. I would also be tempted by a 20mm WR or 24mm WR lens if/when Pentax finishes suppling the zoomer crowd and starts on D FA primes. stan > On May 2, 2016, at 3:32 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > > I am intrigued by the 15-30/2.8.
