Dan, I'm not really into abstracts & geometrical stuff but, having read what others have said, I can now see what you're trying to do. I think the message is much the same in colour or B/W. To me it seems to be more artistic rather than a specifically photographic thing. Alan C -Original

Re: Fast Normal Zoom. (for APS-C)

I like my 16-45 a lot. Got it to go with my ist D about a decade ago. My only frustration is the limited zoom range. I would likely replace it with a 17-70 if I trusted that Pentax had fixed its SDM drive. Faster lenses are too large and heavy to be appealing. Rick On Sunday, October 30, 2016,

Re: Fast Normal Zoom. (for APS-C)

  The 16-45 has been my most used lens for all of my most recent trips.  On my current one, over 95% of my shots have been taken with it: the range is so useful for city walking and most landscapes.  I brought the 50-200 this time as well, but have only used it half-a-dozen times.

I agree with Rick- the adobe IRL is certainly warmer...although I think there are some faux adobes there that are paler, but I'm going on a frail memory// more attractive if warmer. Like to call it "clay" or "tan" rather than"beige" remembering "beige" often used in a way to imply boring

I mostly shoot with primes when I have a good idea of what I'm going to be shooting. But for more flexibility, I either take the DA 12-24 for landscapes, or for complete flexibility I take the DA 18-135. You might want to consider the 18-135 if you are going to stay with APS-C. I thought the
