Agreed. The increasing lack of Pentax fixed length lenses is one of the lesser reasons I haven't drank the *istD/DS Kool-Aid. More often than not the MX has either a 28 or 85 mounted. However, my recently aquired 35/2.8 (Thanks, Don!) is quickly replacing the 28. I can live with either, though. That said, with an APS sensor, I'd need something in the 20-24mm range (not currently a problem) and another lens in the 55-65mm range. That last one is a big problem. I don't like using zooms. So far I've found a 60mm macro bearing the Nikkor badge that might suit my real world needs. As far as my fictional B&W digital goes, a screw mount or K-mount body with a 55/1.8 would be killer. Full frame without a mortgage is good, too. <g> -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- "You have to hold the button down" -Arnold Newman
