I keep finding myself "needing" a lens that is wide, fast and preferably reasonably sharp. Pretty much all I have wider than 31 are my 18-55 and my 18-250. I'm thinking of diverting some of the money from selling my racecar to buying glass.
I think that the ideal lens would be a 16-50, and I keep bumming that I never went for the one on craigslist just before I got laid off. Poking around on ebay, I've found a few options. Pentax 16-50 seems to go for $750-800 A Zenitar K MC 2.8 16mm for $180 A couple of Pentax SMC DA 14mm f2.8 ED for around $590 SIGMA 17-35mm f2.8-4 DG EX $300 Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC $370 How do folks feel about these various lenses? -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
