Indeed. However there is one gotcha - new Tamron 14/2.8 SP lenses go for above $1000. I am not *that* rich.
I cannot buy K (A) 15/3.5 for the same reason I am selling my Sigma 18/3.5. I cannot properly focus manually if I need to be closer than at infinity. Strangely enough Sigma 14/2.8 gets rather rave reviews. I will see what kind of fish is hiding in murky eBay water... I wonder if anyone else on the list tried Sigma 14 lens except Godfrey who wasn't satisfied. Boris Derby Chang wrote: > Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: >> You might hunt for a Pentax 16/3.5 ...
