thanks guys.
the DFA 100mm is not cheap for a prime lens (i mean i like the idea of having a zoom!)

i might try to buy a 1.4x converter for my tamron see at f4 70mm it might be decent, although then i feel i might as well have a 17-70mm... never an easy way is there!?

pentax 100mm?
and you tried the 90mm tamron? got a kx too...

also, the converter makes you lose 1.5 stops, so you end up with a f2.5 85mm that would work!! never thought about the converters. Does that mean the lens becomes wide open at f2.5 or is it one stop down from the original f1.7? (i.e better IQ)

i know but realistically 1.4mm without AF wont work for me! I would however consider it - the samyang being well priced.

my budget = a good deal, from £200 to £400 depending on the lens!

50mm is too short - got the 17-50mm f2.8 tammy which is very nice but doesnt do the job for portraits...

hello,
i am after a fast lens (2.8 minimum) covering around 75mm (APS) - two purposes:
- portrait outdoor with nice bookeh
- portrait studio-type so dont need a fast one for that but needs to be sharp!

I would consider:
tammy 28-75mm
sigma 50-150mm
tamron 90mm macro eventually
maybe some prime lenses (70mm sigma?), preferably A settings, AF would be a +!
any other lens i havent heard of.

thanks

hello,
I have the 10-17 as well as the 10-20, not sure which one i will keep as havent really used any much yet.
10-17mm: great for fun photos, it's good to experiment -->
link I think the idea is to try anything really, change the basic rules of photography to get the best of it. I havent tried de-fishing it but i got a fisheye in order to get the fisheye effect!
10-20mm: good for landscape, buildings and indoor! find the distortion at 10mm but like using it at around 12-16mm.

the only thing i should say is: "have fun!" as it's what the fisheye is all about!
