Check out the FA 28/2.8AL - my pick for the most underrated lens Pentax makes. It's not very fast but, aside from some light falloff in the corners when wide open, it's a great little lens! (And with a 1.5x crop-factor DSLR, that light falloff in the corners should be a lot less evident.) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
