I'm still being tempted by the new DFA21mm Ltd. What's holding me back is that I hardly ever use lenses that wide so my A20/2.8 fits my needs. I would like to see DFA* versions of something in the 35mm range and 120 mm range. A *35/1.4 and a *120/2 would both have me hitting the buy it now button

I shoot 100 percent of my studio work, and about 99 percent of location work, with Pentax. It's mostly the K1, with occasional K3 sightings, the bulk of the shots with either the FA50 1/4 or the old 77 Ltd. Other lenses like the FA35/2 and the FA20-35/4 ride along for use when circumstances

Similarly, it's been quite a few years since I worked with Pentax cameras. I do still have one Pentax lens … the L39 mount version of the superb 43mm Limited (SMC-Pentax-L 43mm f/1.9 Special) which was and is my all-time favorite Pentax lens. I use it on my Leica cameras where it never fails to

My preferred lens is the 55-300 PLM, that is very useful for butterflies and dragonflies. For this I had to buy the K-70. The reasons are: - my K-1 is losing too much resolution with this lens. - I will never buy a K3-III while I use live view in many situations. - KP not being available. APSC is

The 24-70/2.8 is my most used “normal” lens. It’s a reliable workhorse and quite sharp even wide open. I too would like the K3-3, but at my age I can’t spend like I once did, so my K-3 and K-1 will suffice. Paul > On Jan 14, 2023, at 11:43 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > It was recently observed
