One finally arrived and I did a quick evaluation in the shop, shooting from their balcony (overviewing a big park, convenient for lens testing ). So far, it's interesting. The 50mm performance is quite good, even wide open. The 18mm performance is worse with vignetting and coma. At f/4, it's overall good. I got some mixed feelings about it, so I will do a more comprehensive post in few days. Just remember that sample variation might exist. Good light! fra

SWMBO says I may not take it in the bedroom ;) The lens I have on it for when I am just gadding about or looking for the un-expected is a Sigma 28-300mm which allows me to be prepared for anything that pops up in a hurry and I need to shoot quick.

Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
Dave, that is a hard one. If I know I'll be shooting in cramped circumstances, or where a wider AOV is needed, I'll fit the 18-35 zoom,otherwise the 28-105 or 70-210 are nearly always on . I'll of course change to another lens if it is more appropriate, but the 28-105 covers such a useful range for speculative wandering!

Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
I LOVE the 35 3.5 lens, which makes it close to a standard 50mm with the istD. Just used it the other day for my family's Christmas card. Also, just ordered an FA 50 1.4 that I can't wait to try. I also love the 120 2.8, and SMC-A 24 2.8, & SMC-A 50mm 1.4 to name a few.

Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
FA20-35 so far but that was after a disappointing start with the DA16-45. My DA16-45 had an overexposure problem just recently diagnosed by Bruce Dayton as the aperture not closing properly. Thanks Bruce. The DA16-45 should be a favorite. I like the FA20-35 very much and the DA16-45 is a little wider and a little longer. The DA18-55 should be a very good choice. In conjunction with the FA20-35 I use a F35-70. The F35-70 is suprisingly good, very cheap and has good close focus. A $400 lens and a $40 lens. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 4:09 AM Subject: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often > Looking at some new package offers at several camera stores.

Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
> do you have a lens on your D body that seems to be more often than > not.? Well, I don't ~yet~ own a *ist D or a *ist DS, but (this being Thanksgiving time here in the US and all), I would just like to say that I am very grateful that I will ~eventually~ be able to answer your question with the name of a lens that I already have - . Remember, it was not all that long ago that, here on the PDML, there was one discussion after another bemoaning the fact that (at that time) Pentax seemed as if it were ~never~ going to come out with any sort of a K-mount DSLR. So, I am ~very~ thankful that, sooner or later, I will be able to say that "I use my old "SMC A [...]" on my *ist D[S] more often than not" - . Fred
Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
Of course! The DA 16-45 f4. This is a superb lens, and certainly one of a handful of Pentax's best zooms ever. If you use zooms and can afford it, get it. The DA 18-55 will not be as good: Note the difference in price, and be guided thereby. Most used prime? It's a toss-up between the FA 31 and the FA 77. Joe
Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
Dave, > ...but do you have a lens on your D body that seems to be more often than > not.? I've just only 300 frames with mine so far. So my mileage is limited. The lenses in order of decreasing importance :); 1. FA 28-70/4 (copied that from Jostein's 28-70/2.8) - my carry around 2. FA 50/1.7 (for quality) 3. K 24/2.8 for wide 4. F 85 soft, F 70-210/4-5.6 some others for special stuff. HTH. Boris
Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
In order: 1.) SMCP-A 50/1.4 and Tamron AF 28-75/2.8 2.) DA 16-45/4 The first two account for about 90% of the time split equally between them. The 50/1.4 with F 1.7x AF Converter is my portrait lens of choice. The 16-45 will see more use this winter and next spring for scenics, IF the results are good. So far I find it a very "harsh" lens for scenics but it hasn't really had a fair test. If it doesn't work well the Vivitar 19/3.8 and K 28/3.5 will win out for scenics.

Re: What lens do you find is on your *istD most often
The lens I find most often on my istD is the 77mm ltd. I bought the FAJ 18-35 with it as a kit becuase it was only about $100 more and I could also use it with the MZ-S if I wanted. I've never used it. The other lens I will use on the istD is the FA24-90 Wendy --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Looking at some new package offers at > several camera stores.
