The A 28mm f/2.8 is an excellent lens. Some interesting MTF Tests on Pentax lenses here including some of the OLD junk

I've got a collection of nice primes and I really do enjoy using them, but the 16-45 is the default lens on my K10D and gets used most of the time.

I was a great fan of the kit 18-55, but the extra 2mm at the wide end made such a difference, so now my poor old 18-55 never sees the light day.

So zooms for me then.

Interesting TEST on the 16-45 v 18-55 here. Seems the 16-45 is better at the wide end slightly worse at the edge from 31mm and worse for Lateral CA throughout. The KIT Lens is still very underated Maybe they should start charging £300 for it

"However, the more advanced you get, the more lenses you’ll want, and Nikon and Canon have Pentax trumped on this front."

"There’s also less scope for moving upwards in Pentax’s range – the K-5 simply isn’t as good as the Canon or Nikon equivalents. But for those who want a decent performer for the here and now, the K-x is a bargain."


Disgraceful comments (twice) about the lenses and the K-5 which they claim isn't as good as the Canon or Nikon equivalents. So they don't mean Full Frame

Some of the Angenieux 35mm lenses had a bad reputation for bits falling off

You seem to have a nice selection of birds in your parks. I wish we had

Glad you like the new lens
