Are any of these zooms considered to have the IQ of a Pentax prime though...
Even as a 'budget' lens the DA35 2.4 gets rave reviews regarding its image quality/colour rendition etc... Money saved is on the build quality right?

Pentax-A 28's go like hotcakes (yet are regularly for sale)and for a good price (read: 'not that cheap')
FA28's seem to come on sale much less often, implying that those people buying them keep them and use them...

I dunno...

There are now 4 K-x users on Bradford Uni's campus... We openly look upon Canikon shooters with disdain as we swap £30 fast-fifties and antique zooms in corridors...
We allow olympus users to speak to us... They're a sorry bunch...

If you're after a 'kit' replacement... I can recommend he Tamron 17-50 f2.8 as a corker...

Do we think there's any chance Pentax might make a budget DA28 2.8 in the same style as the DA35 2.4?

Was/is the plastic body and mount and relatively cheap price of the 35 a one-off?

Would anyone here appreciate a new 28mm f2.8 lens???

Given Pentax's history with 28mm's I'd have thought it would be a pretty easy job for them...
