Lens Road Map & Planning:

My current planning as of January of 2010
  • No new lens and no new camera until I trim down my gear
  • Wait for upgrade for K20D with the next version after K-7
  • Lens to consider in future

    • Pentax DA 55-300mm f/4.0-5.8


Past Gear:

This is perhaps the skeleton in my closet of LBA shameful. And please don't laugh when you visit my past gear post. What seems cheap end up very expensive for me as I buy too much too soon.

Re: you roadmap, consider a Sigma 28/1.8. It's sharp from f2 onwards, fast, no distortion, and about ~$300 new. Works pretty darn well as a macro, at 1:2.3.

Hin Man said...

Thanks for the suggestion, it is one of the lens that I will study.

get the 35 macro, its sweet!

HeatherB said...

I second the vote for the 35 macro, as it is quite a versatile lens. :)

Another thought I had was that since you have the Tamron 28-75 already, which works on both film and digital, how about getting either the DA12-24 or waiting on the Tamron 10-24 like you mentioned? It really doesn't make a lot of sense to get a 17-50 or 16-50 when you would have most of that range (and then some) covered by the 2 lenses on your digital? If you like shooting extra wide on film, then keep the Tokina. :)

both very nice body's but the fuji

thanh_tan said...

you are about to leave pentax? and move to Nikon?

Hin Man said...

I am not leaving Pentax. I thought about a 2nd system with Nikon D90. But I have placed a halt on the plan, and revisit later on. And I did get Pentax DA 35mm f/2.8 limited instead of 31mm limited.
