Or the PK-A 50/1.2, or the DA 50/1.4. Again, I am pushing the longer alternatives, 43mm, 50mm, because I don't see that big a difference between your 12-24mm and a 30mm or 31mm. OBTW, you didn't specify a prime lens. How about something like an older 28-70mm lens? stan -- 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.
