Thank you, Joe.
I'm making a list and checking prices and availability.
So far, I've found an SMC-M 28/2.8 for $45 at KEH. Don't know much about
the lens, but assume it's got to be better than the Takumar I have.

Walt, The 16-45 Pentax lens is not bad and could gotten pretty cheap.
If you could find a 18mm Pentax lens cheap, you might like it. On the
more money front there is a Simga 18 to 50 F2,8 Macro which is nice
and then there is the Simga 10mm to 20mm F3.5 which is also nice. I
have them all and like them.
Good Luck in your search..Joe
. . . and give me your thoughts.
Say you're going to be leaving for the Black Hills of South Dakota in
a little over a month and have an extremely limited budget. I'm quite
literally saving up the quarters from my tips (along with everything
else that I can) to finance it. But, you want to make sure that you
get some images worthy of the trip.
I'll be taking all of my camera bodies with me -- K-x, K20D, K100D
Super -- and plan to use my Promaster 70-300 as a zoom, at least one
of my 50mm primes, and I'd like to have something wider for
landscapes. I have a Takumar 28/2.8, but it's really a pretty crappy
lens compared to the others.
What would be the best, most affordable option -- best bang for the
lowest buck -- for the wider landscapes? All I really care about is
the focal length and IQ -- everything else is mere window dressing as
far as I'm concerned. I'm essentially looking for something very
common and highly regarded.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
