Tanya, My most favorite lens is my SMC-A 50/1.4. It is not as small as my A1.7 but it does make for a nice small photo package. It also allows me for less available light photography since I do not tend to use flash much. I had to think about my most favorite, but once I looked

Favorite prime: FA* 85mm F1.4. The combination of speed and reach let me get photographs that would be difficult/impossible otherwise. Favorite zoom: FA* 80-200 F2.8. Big, heavy, but all-around the most productive recent purchase that I have made. --Mark - This message is from the Pentax-Di

My all time favorite lens is the A 50mm F1.4. It's a great little fast lens. Call me a heretic but #2 is the Sears 135mm F2.8 Macro, followed closely by the M 28mm F3.5. Todd At 12:53 PM 3/26/01 +1000, you wrote: >Ok, so this topic has probably been done to death, but seeing as I am new >ar

Zoom: The 75-150/f4 M. Sharp, very versatile, compact, not overly heavy, nice feel to it. Great daylight lens... Built in hood allows almost no flare ever. Easy to zoom and focus with one touch. It's not a macro, but 150mm at 24" sure looks close enough to it. (And it cost me $53!?) Prime:F

My most favourite Pentax lens must be the SMC 15/3.5. After that come the A* 300/2.8 and A* 85/1.4 (which is still quite new to me). I'm still thinking about getting the FA* 24/2.0 .. if I get manage to get some details on how good it is wide open at infinity (astrophoto etc). I will wait to see

Hi, My favourite zooms were the SMC-M 24-35/3.5 and the SMC-A 70-210/4. The shorter zoom was up there close to being my favourite lens, too. The primes I liked best were the SMC-K 28/2, SMC-M 35/2, the SMC A* 85/1.4 and the SMC-A 400/5.6. This does not necessarily mean that these provided the b
