We could start a topic like that but then with "great deals" and make it a sticky and you're done.There is already a section for recommended suppliers:

To avoid possible duplication if you already own a capable zoom covering the length might be one consideration for some.the DAL 35 is a prime though (obviously) why compare it to a zoom lens which you use differently?
It's just so different to use a prime compare to using a zoom that there really is no real comparison for me at least.
It's the same as comparing motor cycles with cars, both designed to bring you from point A to B over the road but they are completely different things to handle.
You won't use the DAl 35mm as a DA 16-45 or vice versa so they don't replace each other.

John it's just another section on the forum, like we have the general chat and the lens section here there is also a "great deals" section.
Nothing more to know really.
Someone simply post a link to a deal they find be it a store or ebay and that's it.
I think it's a better solution then put everything in the general chat, that's already flooded with everything and nothing.

Just been having a play with the K-r in manual mode. I can click iso on the control pad and use the wheel to adjust it, but the iso value is not displayed in the viewfinder so have to pull back and use screen. Not the end of the world but seems an easy feature to have been implemented (you can change shutter and aperture without leaving viewfinder, why not sensitivity given it is third part of exposure equation)
Well at least now you've a reason to get a K5. Just been having a play with the K-r in manual mode.

1/2 EV is non-default #2 in the list.
They might have changed that with a firmware update then. Like I said the first, 1/3 EV, is a factory default #1 anyway.

The wedge Pentaxophile was thinking about is for girls only and the supplied link from TG tells you why

Thanks JR, yes, I wanted to know how much better it is. We all know that primes are 'better' than zooms but what I was getting at was how much 'better' it is as I can set the 16-45mm to 35mm so I have that focal length already. The question I was looking for Stefan is weather anyone has compared the DAL 35mm to a 16-45mm that's set at 35mm for a comparison
FA35
DA16-45
The DAL will most likely be better in every aspect but not by miles and the DA16-45 already preform very good, i doubt you will see a real difference unless you zoom in 100%
But still my earlier comment stand though, you will use a zoom for different things as you would a prime.
I doubt you will be sitting at home contemplating if you should use the DAL35 or the DA16-45 today.
Both my primes and zoom lenses overlap and i never have to think hard which to take, if in doubt i'll always take the zoom because i've more reach that way.
If i know the DA40 or DFA100 would be suitable i'll take those for the extra quality.
