Debra,
I had a K mount Tokina RMC 24/2.8 once. I liked it fine. It was
metal and very solid like most Tokina lenses I have encountered. The
optical quality was reasonably good. As usual, flare is a bigger
issue with it than a Pentax SMC. Remember that the wider you go, the
more easy it is

I have a russian Mir MK-47 20mm/2.5 and SMCA 24/2.8
Between them, the second one is my clear choice (although for more than
twice the money). It's a bit longer and a bit slower (or, maybe not,
2.5 is not necessarily 2.5 really). But it's a lot more compact,
has half the weight, and there's simply

I have an optically identical A 15/3.5, and I have to agree with

Mine is the FA 20-35mm f/4. The best prime wide angle lens I own is the FA
35mm f/2 but I use the 20-35mm zoom
I agree wholeheartedly. My 15 rarely travels in my bag. Only if I know I'm
likely to use it. But I love it none the less.

Previously I'd have said 24mm, but the novelty of the wideness has worn
off, and I think that 35mm really is my favourite focal length, not just
for wides, but overall.

Sorry, but that is too high for me for a used lens. I can get a new
one from Pavel Gubanov for $85. He usually sells on ebay, but I have

I understand. And you're not alone - there's a lot of PDML-ers that

My favorite wide lens is surely K 28/3.5 if I want to bring only one or two lenses. I
