If he can only afford one, a zoom would make the most sense, probably the DA* 16-50/2.8. It's almost as fast as most of those and probably the equal of most in resolution and contrast.

Have a fellow colleague at work who is fed up with Olympus. He's had a sentimental attachment to OMs (and their Zuiko primes) from way back when. So he bought into the E series when he decided to go digital. But it's not doing it for him. Manual focus shortcomings mostly, and I sympathise. So now he is seriously considering the K-7. Fair enough, but he asked me a hard question. Given one AF lens, which would I choose? Without thinking I said the 77mm. But he's a bushwalker, and would probably would prefer something wider.

So, tomorrow, I'm going to let him play with

* 31mm ltd
* 35mm DA mac
* 21mm DA
* 14mm DA

but for good measure, even though they are longish

* 77mm ltd
* 43mm ltd
* 40mm DA
* 70mm DA

This should be interesting to see what he thinks.
