I owned the DA14 first ... it was the only new lens I bought when I bought the *ist DS at the beginning of 2005. All my other lenses at that time were Pentax A and M primes bought used. The 35 and 50 are/were excellent and I did quite a lot of work with them, particularly the 35mm. However, when I got the 28, I found I didn't use the 35 much any more, and I'd already pretty much stopped using the 50. When I bought the 43, I found I didn't use the 35 and 50 at all anymore, sold them. (I had the 35 and 50 for almost two years; within three months, I'd made very nearly the same number of exposures with the 43 that I'd made with both of the 35 and 50 in total.) Similarly, after a couple more months, I found I wasn't using the 28 mm either. This 14/21/43/70 kit just works well for me: I never find myself looking for a focal length in-between. Trying to explain it logically doesn't seem to work. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
