I don't really need any more lens, I go from 16mm to 400mm (with a gap between 210 and 400), but none of my current photography would justify the expense of filling in the gap. If I could find one, the power zoom 28-105 was one of the best I have had, and wouldn't mind getting it for when my 28-105 3.5/5.6 wears out. However, as I've mentioned before, my phot kit will probably last longer than I will!

Note this is not "lenses I need". I have too many as it is, covering every focal length I care about (which doesn't go much further than 100 or 135mm anyway) DA15/4: I have the DA21mm, and it's an awesome lens. Seems like the 15 would be a great companion to it. I don't really need it, since I have some zooms that cover this focal length, plus I haven't been shooting with the KP much anyway. M20/4: I don't know why I want this one, I just do. I really like the M lenses. I do have the DA21 Limited for APS, and the Sigma 20/2.8 for APS on the Sony, and an awesome Zeiss 21/2.8 for full frame on Leicas and Sonys. And that's without counting the zooms that cover that both on APS and full frame: I have a 17-70/4, a 12-24/4, and a Canon 17-40/4 that covers full frame with fast AF via an adaptor on the Sony. M40/2.8: I just always wanted that little pancake lens. Don't need it, as I have tons of both 35mm and 50mm lenses, plus a really nice Konica Hexanon 40mm/1.8 that is perfect for the A7ii. DA20-40: This seems like the perfect street lens for the KP. Been wanting it since it came out, but never pulled the trigger. Again, I already have other lenses covering this range. K85/1.8: I had this lens. It fell from my motorcycle jacket the day I was getting my istD back in 2004. I never saw it again. It's not a FL I regularly use so it's hard to justify. I had found it in pristine condition for under $100 back in the late 90s. M28/3.5: This was my main 28, my copy seemed to be a lot sharper than what should be legal. I lost it years ago. I do have an M28/2.8 and the FA28/2.8, plus a Takumar 28/3.5 (the big barreled one). Oh and I do have the awesome K30/2.8 and a bunch of other 28s for other mounts, so it's super hard to justify buying this one. Takumar 50/1.4, 8 element: I REALLY don't need this. My best 50mms are a Summicron, the A50/1.4, maybe the M50/1.7 or FA50/1.7 (yes, I have all those plus a lot more 50s!) K50/1.2: Again, I don't need another 50. But it sure would be nice to play with that extra third of a stop. How about you? Any lenses you've always wanted but haven't gotten around to getting? Any opinions on that list above? j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com -- 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. -- 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.
