Subject: Which Macro Lens?
I'm considering spending some money on a new macro lens. I used to have an
older Pentax 50mm f2.8 autofocus lens that was built like a tank, and took
very sharp photos. I bought it used at a local shop for only about $100,
which was a huge bargain! Unfortunately, that lens got stolen along with
the camera it was mounted on at the time. God, how I wish the thieves had
stolen my inexpensive kit lens instead! :)
Anyway, I'm currently shooting with a K100D, and I'm trying to decide
between getting one of these new macro lenses:
Pentax smc P-D FA 50mm f/2.8
Pentax SMCP-DA 35mm f/2.8
Are either of these lenses noticeably sharper than the other?
Which would you buy, especially if this were going to be your only macro
lens?
Are there any other macro lenses I should consider?
Yep. The Pentax SMC A* 200mm f4.0 ED Macro - about as good as they get !
Longer is better - gives you more room to work - especially good with little
creatures.
