SMC-A 2.8/20mm is not too bad IMO.

Emne: Re: Fast, Wide, and Small


A colleague of mine was a photojournalist in the '70s and '80s and 
used Olympus OM's. When the 21mm f/2 Zuiko came out around 1980, it 
became one of her favorite lenses for work. But that doesn't help, as 
Pentax doesn't have anything similar.

I have Vivitar's 28mm f/1.9 in screwmount and K-mount, and while it 
is compact, quite light and fairly small (58mm filter), it's not very 
wide. But it's a very nice performer.
