Well I shot a picture with a film grained Fuji slide film with my Pentax camera, tripod, and FA* glass, and got a nice Ilfochrome made from it, then I a picture with my Barbiecam from a moving car and printed it out on my dot matrix printer. The film picture is way better so obviously

I shot a whole roll of KodaColor 400 inside the USAF museum in Dayton, OH in the early 80's. All of it was with my 50/1.4 and available light. I was more than pleased with the results. I relied mostly with the camera's meter. I don't remember if I used my K-1000 or MX. I don't think I had an

As my travel continues in Utah, I stopped in a book store as I was walking around taking photos. Of course I had to peruse the photo section, talk about old books! I found an interesting small photo book with a Honeywell Pentax on the cover. PENTAX SINGLE-LENS REFLEX

Except for the FA 28-70/4 AL, probably among the best of the 'standard' 28-70 out there..Also, the F 28-80 is also a good lens as well. I've never used the F 28-80 but do have the 28-70/4 and for the money, you'll not find a better lens in its class, IMHO. John - Original

What do you usually use a 50mm for? It seems too long for a nice landscape and too short for a portrait. I would love to get the lens (been rated too well to ignore it) but I really don't know how useful it can be. It would be nice if other readers could contribute what they would use a
