Hi,
I'm a newcomer to the DSLR world having recently
bought a used *istDS body along with a SMC-A 50/1.7.
Luckily, thanks to this mailing list and its archives
as well as the Pentax DSLR forum on DPReview, many
helpful comments have guided my equipment selection.
Right now, I'm looking for a decent budget wide-angle
zoom to cover. I would spring for the 16-45, but at
430 Euros, it's simply too much. I could obtain the
original *istD kit lens (FAJ 18-35) new for around 100
Euros, around the cost of the current DS kit lens.
>From what I've read so far on the 18-35, the consensus
seems rather negative. Is it really that bad? What
are some possible alternatives in the same price
range?
Would appreciate any insights or comments!
-YJ
