Part of the problem here is that area increases so dramatically with
relatively small increases in dimensions.

Gregory,
All of the Pentax 50mm f2 lenses are remarkably good, K, M, A or old Takumars.
The 50mm f1.4 are not sharper or better, just faster... a bigger minimum
aperture.
This also makes them easier to focus.
If you are using a tripod and cable release, something should be in sharp
focus. Take

What would you say are the best AND cheapest Pentax lenses for someone
looking to put together a basic kit for reasonable bucks?
I would say the SMCP-M 100/2.8 ranks. So does the SMCP-M 50/1.7.

M28/2.8, M50/2, M135/3.5.

Funny - this is almost exactly what I have - M28/2.8, 50/1.7 and 135/3.5
Got the 50 with a body, the other two for a total of $85. Cheap is

Having just recently succeeded in setting up the Pentax Lens Gallery
on the KOMKON server, I would like to invite - in fact, encourage -
other Pentaxers to now add their own lens images to the PLG.
The new home of the Pentax Lens Gallery (due to the generosity of
KOMKON) is at http://plg.komkon.or
