I looked at all the focal lengths the I've used with my K100DS, and it's interesting to see where the focal length 'bumps' are without filtering by lens. It is fairly even along the range from 10-300, with some dips at here and there. I mainly use my 16-45, 55-300, and 10-20. I can see where the ends of the zooms are, but I'm pretty liberal about switching lenses while shooting, so it's not surprising that there is a fairly even distribution.
It was interesting to see that in the 16-45 range, the 28mm I just got is one of the more frequent lengths. :) On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 5:41 PM, Charles Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 22, 2010, at 13:37, Adam Maas wrote: > >> Noticed this was how I was working long ago.
