Precisely. Most of us don't actually take photos ~ at least regularly ~ at the largest aperture. The prime benefit of a wider aperture is the brightness of the view thru the viewfinder! With later Pentaxes, the lens stays wide open for everything except the moment of the exposure. So, you'll find that almost every prime in the neighborhood of 50mm will give superior performance, especially if it's stopped down a couple of stops from wide open. keith whaley
