Hi everybody, I am happy, and I thank everybody who has so far joined this "Favourite K mount normal lens poll". It seems to me that this poll is indeed some success. So far I have collected the votes of
Glen O'Neal, Brendan, Mike Ignatiev, "gfen", Jose R. Rodriguez, David Brooks, Fred, Andre, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Chris Brogden, Keith Whaley, Albano Garcia, Steve Desjardins, Jostein, Wendy Beard, Peter from Camera Direct, Gianfranco Irlanda, Steve Larson, William Johnson, David A. Mann (who may still pick a 3rd choice) and Frantisek Vlcek. These are already 21 votes plus my own (K50/f1.4, K55/f1.8, F50/f1.4) plus the following 3, which are not yet entirely clear: JCO: Is your sentence "I like the K50 1.4 myself..." a vote for this lens? Do you want to make 2nd and 3rd choices? Collin Brendemuehl: I will not count votes for the FA31 Limited until I start a similar poll on 28-35mm lenses. I guess the A50/f1.4 and the FA50/f1.4 are your 1st and 2nd choices in the 40-55mm range. Do you wanrt to make a 3rd choice? Doug Franklin: Again I will at this time only count votes for lenses in the 40-55mm range. If you want to, you can pick 2nd and 3rd choices next to the FA50/f1.4 which you already have chosen. BTW: The FA*200 is indeed a great lens. All who have not yet voted, please make your choices until Friday 19:30 German time. I will then present the grand total. Please take a little time and imagine the following situation: 1.) All your normal lenses have been stolen, and you have no insurance. 2.) Your husband or wife wants to give you a new normal lens as a present 3.) He/she asks you to name your favourite 3 Pentax K-mount normal lenses (1st, 2nd and 3rd choice), so that it is not too difficult for him/her to find at least one of the 3. 4.) To make your spouse happy you will have to use your new normal lens often. And of course, you will never be allowed to sell the lens. Thus, your choices should only take into account optical and mechanical quality, features and joy of posession and of use. The price should not be considered, as your spouse just has won sufficient money for 100 normal lenses in a lottery. Please name your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choises: ( ) M40/f2.8 ( ) FA43/f1.9 Limited ( ) K50/f1.2 ( ) A50/f1.2 ( ) K50/f1.4 ( ) M50/f1.4 ( ) A50/f1.4 ( ) F50/f1.4 ( ) FA50/f1.4 ( ) M50/f1.7 ( ) A50/f1.7 ( ) F50/f1.7 ( ) FA50/f1.7 ( ) M50/f2 ( ) A50/f2 ( ) A50/f2.8 Macro ( ) F50/f2.8 Macro ( ) FA50/f2.8 Macro ( ) K50/f4 Macro ( ) M50/f4 Macro ( ) K55/f1.8 ( ) K55/f2 Have fun with this poll !!!
