Thanks Roy

I have to agree, it was a little on the cheap side. Its not for me though, but my daughter, she now has all 3 kit lenses and should be self sufficent for the time being.

Don't forget the Tamron 10-24mm ultrawide, its cheaper than the Sigma and Pentax versions. But not sure about IQ with the Tamron.

Having owned the Sigma 10-20mm (not the HSM version) and now the Pentax 12-24mm I have to agree with John, it is superb. But very expensive.

If Hefty is up for having one of his (in)famous lens reviews, we do have an FA 100mm he can borrow, that he can compare with his D-FA!

I had both the FA and the D-FA for a while, I would give IQ too the FA but only barely, there isn't much between them but the FA just had a little more punch to it than the D-FA.

From a usability point of view The D-FA with Quick shift and its lighter weight is a winner, but I found it a little slower AF than the FA. The D-FA will also suit your Pentax AF160FC ring flash better, its pretty much designed for that lens and they compliment each other well.

The build quality of the FA is better than the D-FA also. The D-FA feels a little flimsy in comparison.

It really comes down to what you feel will suit you and your shooting style. I am not going to say sell the FA and get the D-FA its really your call.

I had the D-FA before getting hold of the FA and then I picked up a Voigtlander 125mm 2.5 (which is another level again) and then had to decide which one too sell the FA or the D-FA?? or both!! I chose to sell the D-FA in the end but could just as easily have parted with the FA also.

Sorry I haven't made it all that easy for you too decide

I know what Buy a Voigtlander its a much easier choice

If I had seen it, it would have definately been heading this way.

I can't believe that price, sounds a bit too good too be true.

I believe what you are looking for is "Pentax Remote Assistant" which comes as standard software with the Pentax K10/K20 bodies, unfortunately it was dropped when the K7 was released. (not sure about the KX) I have never used it but I am sure several members have.
