Hi- I have a new K100D, and am looking for a fast, wide (roughly 12mm) lens. Any suggestions?
I've been thinking about the 16mm Zenitar fisheye lens. From what I have seen, it comes in several versions. As a Pentax K mount, with the aperature lever, and an M42 screw mount, amoung others. Both versions have advantages- the K mount would be more convenient, the M42 mount would be more versitile- It (and an adapter) would work on my Canon 10D. How does the aperature selection work in the M42/adapter? Judging by the pictures I've seen, it has the stop down pin on the mount, but no auto/manual apature selector on the side. I have a Yashica lens set up this way, and I can only use the lens wide open- no way to depress the pin, so the iris will stop down. Assuming you can get the M42/adapter version to stop down for exposure, are there any other quirks that might influence me one way or the other? Thanks for your help.
