I need WR...

Sell My FA28-2.8, FA50-1.4, and some other odds and sods and get the DA*55 1.4?

Or...

Just stump for a used DA18-55mm WR lens?

The latter gives me a wide angle but will most likely only get used in rain...

The former gives stunning IQ is WR but costs a small fortune, meaning I lose wide-angle ability of the 28 (and possibly the Vivitar 19mm f4)

Your thoughts?

Thanks all!

Not sure... I reckon in the spring... You up for a weekend of surfing and mountain-biking?!

Lenses is an issue that I can't comment on much in this particular thread but I need WR...

Welcome, although I'll add that I find the 28 makes people look a bit 'different' and sometimes 'chunky'... I use mine strictly as a land/city-scape-er because of this and tend to gravitate to my FA'35,50 & D-FA100 when shooting people... 35mm is a great focal length to get really good photo's of kids/babies/cats both indoors and out...

The FA28 'is' a great lens for landscape though and gives a really nice kind of 'painted' look with beautiful colour rendition... I think everyone should own a 28 AF or MF..

Sorry... I don't always explain myself too well... Hope this helps

Damn... No worries... I'm on the lookout for a WR-18-55 as I bought my K5 'Body only'

I'd like half a dozen in case I ever have to do a Jason Bourne

PM sent re WR lens

About to PM about the WR-18-55

I like #3 best but have to say that I think the make-up is a little heavy despite the light being beautiful... And I really like the pose/position of the model.

I bought a ring today... She said yes...

Both 'F' and 'FA' 28's come up on the auction site fairly regular... Keep an eye out... You're looking at between £160 and £220...

I have the FA version and it's alright... I like the build and style of the FA primes but the 'F' version apparently has slightly better optics...
