Non-stabilized 50 F1.4 is approx the same price, $400ish Canon's is an old design as is the Pentax one.
Stabilized lenses for Canon are rather pricey!!! http://petapixel.com/2012/02/07/canon-unveils-the-24-70mm-f2-8-ii-24mm-f2-8- is-and-28mm-f2-8-is/ I feel great about my K5, better every week in fact. I get IS even with a 40 year old lens. gerrit -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Larry Colen Sent: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 1:24 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Pentax is history On Tue, Jul 02, 2013 at 11:32:49AM -0500, Walt wrote: > On 7/2/2013 11:19 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: > >I guess I'm sticking with what I have, and will consider another > >system for full frame wide angle stuff. > >I don't think we will survive this transition. > >Regards, Bob S. > I have to say I have that same feeling. It may be premature and even a > little irrational, but there it is. I look at these changes, and things like the lack of a full frame option, and I feel certain that Pentax is doomed. Then I look at the pictures I get with my camera compared with what other people get in the same situations, or the size of the K-5 sitting next to a 5D, and I'm not so sure. So, tell me, what would an image stabilized f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens cost for a Nikon or Canon? -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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. -- 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.
