At present I own an MZ-7 - a Program-A and these 3 beauties:
The MX gets the most use of the lot (followed by the MZ-7) but they all look beautful on top of my bookcase

Following on from the topic Old Glass and trying to stretch the topic a little more. I have a number of manual focal lenses and wonderd if some of the members might point out the best use of the lens or may be a use genurly not thought of that may have worked out well. I agree by the way these lenses offer very good value so pleased I chose Pentax. It would be good if also members could post the odd photo taken with any of the lenses listed below if possible.
135mm 50mm 35mm and a 28mm all old manual focus look forward to any feed back.
Regards Ian
50mm lenses tend to be used for portraits on crop-sensor cameras, generally how I use mine...
28mm is generally the widest lens in my bag (I only carry the kit-18-55WR if I'm expecting 'weather' and can rarely be bothered with my Vivitar 19mm 3.... If I use it at all I end up taking a few images and stitching... Unfortunately I suck at landscape so it doesn't happen much...
135mm is a tough one for me... I had one but rarely used it... Was a bit of an odd focal length for me - so I flogged it...

I wish I had the DA35 Ltd but agree that a 35mm lens is a must... My FA35 is my most used lens (and I have an A35-2.8 that needs a repair...)
