Adam,
thank's for the explanation. Looks like I missunderstood something
there. Obviously, there are a lot of new things to learn after so many
years. ;-)

Thanks, Tim.
I really like the DA 40, too. Today I picked up a DA* 50-135 and will
see how far that and the DA 40 will get me. By the time I know if I
really need a wide angle I'll hopefully also know how the K200D
performs at higher ISO settings, so then I can decide wether the extra

FOV of a 28mm on the APS sensor in the Pentax cameras is about the

28mm prime would perform like a, well, somewhere around 50mm prime

No, there's a fair difference between those two lenses. The 28 would
perform on the K200D like the 40 would on a 35mm body, not like the
40mm does on the K200D. The crop factor always applies as focal length

DA lens is the latter
Thanks, Godfrey.
I was thinking along the same lines. I am really satisfied with the
images the DA 40 produces, and if the DA 21 comes close, I'd rather
save the extra cash on the DA* 16-50, since I already have the DA 40.

Minolta lenses cannot be used on Pentax mount.
I have both the DA* zooms. They are both excellent quality performers.
I tend to use primes for the shorter focal lengths, however, because I
prefer their more compact size and better handling. I use the DA21 and
FA43, supplemented occasionaly by
I would get a good 28mm prime. The sma-A F2.8 is
nice if you like manual focus, the later F and FA
versions would do if you want AF. But in any case
a 28mm prime is very useful/high quality on DSLR.

Thanks for the recommendation, Christine. Weight is indeed not an
issue. I also found some positive reviews meanwhile, so I think I'll
go and pick one up this afternoon.

Marcus: I'm not the best one to talk equipment, but I did want to throw a
vote for the DA* 50 - 135, which I own, and I like the lens quite a bit.
It's quiet, smooth, & 2.8 across the zoom range is very nice to have. It is
a bit heavy, but with practice, I'll get better at hand-holding. Weigh
The kit lens is marginal and is obviously too slow for many things.
Your choice of the DA* zooms is a good one. While the DA21 is
undoubtedly a good lens it's not nearly as wide as the DA* 16-50 not
quite as fast, and it doesn't have the motor-in-lens autofocus. The
