Probably at least a dozen. > Were I to get prime lenses which ones would you recommend from 24mm on up to 200mm? Uh oh. Anything that says Pentax SMC. Since you have the 50 and 24, you might look for a 135. The M 135/3.5, K 135/2.5 and any A, F or FA would be good too. An 85 would be an option too, though they're a little less common. Same with a 100mm. I just recommended the 135 since they're so common... Have a look here: http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/ Good luck. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
