Subject: Good "normal" lens for the *ist-en?
What with all the recent discussion on "best" lenses, etc. I've been wondering....
What would make a good "normal" lens for an *istD or *istDS? I'm not looking of "best" but what lenses made by Pentax would give a good image, comparable to something like 50/1.4 or 50/1.7? What wide angle lenses would make good "replacements" For reference, I'm not thinking AF, but rather something older, even screw-mount. To confess, the more I think of adapting an ancient screw-mount lens to digital, the more intriguing it sounds. :-) (partly the beauty of putting such an ancient lens on such modern technology, partly just the challenge of it, and only lastly "price.") :-)
FA31/1.8 A35/2 Both work very well.
