Re: Re: hypothetical enablement

The choise would depend on what you plan to potograph. If you do a lot of portraits and close-ups, the 77mm ist the better choise. If you do a lot of landscape, you should go for the 31mm. I certainly have used the 77mm the most. For portraits and flowers. They are both fine lenses, but my need

Re: hypothetical enablement

I'd go for the 31 as well, think about it this way: you know you will end up getting both, if you buy the more expensive now, it will be easier to justify the expenditure of the other one earlier (I know I did that...) On 8/22/08, Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Scott Loveless wrote: > >

Re: hypothetical enablement

The 77 is indeed a desirable piece of optics. The 31 is also a desirable piece of optics. But then again, so is, apparently, the DA 35 macro. Then there is the good old FA 35... Of those three, the 31 is priced pretty much steeper than the others. So if I was they, I would ask myself if the 31 is w

Re: hypothetical enablement

The 77mm Limited is awfully nice on film and the 31mm Limited is mounted on my K20D right now, very nice but I prefer the 77mm on film. The 77mm Limited and the FA35/2 would be my choice for the same price as the 31mm Limited. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 3:58 PM, Derby Chang <[EMAIL

I do not yet own a K20D, so I can't rate it. I always found it to be superior on film and it's very nice on the *ist-D and Ds. Thibouille wrote: > BTW how would you rate your K30/2.8 performance on K10/K20 ? > I do not find much time to use mine and the K10 exposures problem with > K/M lenses is

Re: hypothetical enablement

BTW how would you rate your K30/2.8 performance on K10/K20 ? I do not find much time to use mine and the K10 exposures problem with K/M lenses is really annoying... BTW, I'd vote for the 77 ltd. On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 10:15 PM, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'd vote for the 77 ltd.

Re: hypothetical enablement

I'd vote for the 77 ltd. If you're shooting film the 31mm ltd. is nice but there are lots, well a number of good Pentax lenses, (the Fa 28mm f2.8 and K 30mm f2.8 are very good, (I have the K 30mm), though a stop slower and a lot less expensive) at approximately that focal length. If you're sh

Re: hypothetical enablement

The 77. The 31's nice but the 35/2 is a close second and can be bought along with the 77 for less than the 31 alone. -Adam On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 3:53 PM, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let's say that someone wants a 31LTD and a 77LTD, but right now they > have money for just one of
