Re: Pentax full frame 28-105 vs 24-70

I am not on the market for these lenses at the moment. But if I were, I'd be torn. My current "most universal" lens (i.e. the one that is attached by default) on K5-IIs is 17-70, which provides the FOV similar to the full-frame camera with 25-105. And I am using the wide end much more often

The reviews on B are very positive for both lenses, with lots of praise for the 28-105's sharpness. On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 2:14 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > Gonz wrote: >> >> Anybody have both of these lenses and compared them? The 24-70 is >> almost 3x the price of the
