Funny thing about ugly cameras. Had to go downtown today. I totally spaced and got off at Chicago Ave, 1 stop sooner than I should have--should have gotten off at Merchandise Mart. So, it was a bit of a hike, along Franklin Ave, especially in the snow we've had all day, and I had to walk straight into the wind. While trekking through the snow, I got to thinking about lenses. I shot with the DA 16-45mm on the k-5 the other day, and I got the feeling it wasn't focusing right on the k-5. Then I got to thinking that I really need a weather resistant wide angle zoom, which the DA 16-45mm isn't. But I'm a bit out of luck there because I can't stand the way the 16-50mm DA* ejaculates ; it's so vulgar, though I do recognize it takes nice pictures. It's so different than the DA* 50-135mm, which maintains its lovely shape as you zoom in and out. Then I thought about all my lovely Pentax primes, DA 21mm, and the DA 40mm, so elegant, so lady-like. Love'em to bits, but they are not weather resistant, which is a bummer, because the last thing a woman wants to do is get all dressed up and head out into the snow. Cheers, Christine
