Funny you should mention it, Ed. I'm in the process of parting with several
lenses, and I've decided that it makes more senses to give away some that
to sell them.
I'm giving my Pentax 50/1.4 PKA to my 24-year-old stepdaughter, with a
Super Program attached. I'm happy with my Rikenon P 50/2.
I guess a SMC M f/3.5 135mm would the best solution. It a very good lens,
cheap (around $60 I think), and plentiful.
