This is not the last poll that I will start here, but it is the last before the last one. The last one will be on telephoto zooms. After that there will have been 12 polls on all kinds of lenses available in k-mount. Those who think these polls are boring or who even consider them a nuisance, please remember that these polls can help everybody who wants to buy a lens for his k-mount camera. I received several emails who appriciated this.
BTW: My favourite poles are the north and south ones (especially if magnetic) Now..... Please answer the following 3 questions: 1.) Imagine that you urgently need a zoom for your k-mount camera which covers at least the focal lengths 40 to 70mm. Imagine further, that you have more than enough money to spend on such a zoom. Now imagine, that you enter a shop which has plenty of new and used Pentax glass. What are the 3 SMC Pentax zooms (1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice) that you would like to pick most? FA24-90/f3.5-4.5 IF&AL FA*28-70/f2.8 AL FA28-70/f4 AL A28-80/f3.5-4.5 F28-80/f3.5-4.5 FA28-80/f3.5-4.7 FA28-80/f3.5-5.6 AL FA28-105/f3.2-4.5 IF&AL FA28-105/f4-5.6 FA28-105/f4-5.6 IF A28-135/f4 FA28-200/f3.8-5.6 IF&AL AF35-70/f2.8 (for ME-F) M35-70/f2.8-3.5 A35-70/f3.5-4.5 F35-70/f3.5-4.5 A35-70/f4 A35-80/f4-5.6 F35-80/f4-5.6 FA35-80/f4-5.6 A35-105/f3.5 F35-105/f4-5.6 A35-135/f3.5-4.5 F35-135/f3.5-4.5 A35-210/f3.5-4.5 M40-80/f2.8-4 2.) What 3rd party zoom lenses covering at least the 40-70mm range would you consider good alternatives? Please name up to 3 3rd party zooms. 3.) If you were dreaming, what would be your ideal (but realistic) SMC Pentax Zoom lens for k-mount, covering the at least the 40-70mm range? Have fun with these polls, and thanks in advance for contributing! Arnold
