I am trying to put together a lightweight kit for travel. Looking at web reviews, I'm inclined to think the Sigma 10-20 f3.5 is a lens I want. However, the Pentax 15mm is considerably lighter and reportedly very good.
i am looking for comments on those two lenses or on alternatives. Background, for anyone who cares: My current walking around combo is A 50 1.4 on K-X. That is likely to get upgraded to DA 50 1.8 on K-3; Adorama have a bundle that includes both and I'll buy it unless they cancel before next week when I'm expecting funds. That is my favorite focal length, all I need for most street shooting. I need a wider lens for landscapes and architecture including interior shots. I have the 16-45 f4 which goes more-or-less wide enough, but it is heavy and not all that wide, so I will likely leave it with my daughter who also shoots Pentax. I also have the A 28 2.8 but it is not wide enough to be the main lens for this and is not autofocus; I'll bring it since it is light but will probably not use it much. The Pentax 21 f3.2 limited looks good but may not be wide enough. Tokina 11-16 f.2.8 does not seem to be available for Pentax. -- 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.
