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
i like my 16-45 pretty well, but perhaps that's because it's all i have wider
than 24mm; it is not a "fine" lens, but it is a very useful lens
however, your budget is tight enough, and the trip sounds short enough, that
i'd consider renting a lens; i can't recommend a rental service, but i've
considered it myself; most i've seen carry only Pentax lenses in K-mount but at
least one (cameralensrentals.com) carries some Sigma; at borrowlenses.com i see
16-50/2.8, 12-24/4, 14/2.8 and 15/4
the 14/2.8 was cheapest at $38 for two weeks (again, not recommending, just
checking prices)
