There's a reason why the older lenses come at a premium. They are much nicer to use than the new ones, especially in MF. Think about that. Ten years from now, I'll bet the manual focus will be worth more than you are paying for it. The autofocus lens, though nice right now, will likely be in pieces. Just my opinion...

<<The main thing I'm concerned with about the FA lens is that it may not work well w/ a MF camera. As for the reason for wanting this lens- I need a 24mm wide-angle, as I've found even a 28mm doesn't quite cut it when you're in close quarters and trying to photograph a car w/o having to stand back and get annoyed every time someone gets in your field of view. I don't think I really need a f2.0 lens, it's just that this one is readily available and the older 24mm f2.8 really isn't much less money- KEH is selling the K24 for $310, B&H is selling the FA24/2.0 for $349.99. For $50 more, I'll take the brand new lens and the faster lens. If the K24 was $200, I'd get it w/o question, esp. if it came w/ hood. Taka>> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
