That was a quite remarkable meeting of minds...

With a bit of Internet searching you might find a reasonably priced 12-24mm Pentax lens, or maybe a second hand one?

That would be my choice anyway.

A few mm difference makes more of a noticeable change at wider angles, so the 14mm f2.8 might be more of a contender now. It seems to be available at lower prices than the 12-24mm, by a comfortable margin.

Have you thought of looking at the Tamron 11-16mm or 10-24mm lenses?

At first I wanted full frame because we had lost the ultra-wide angle lenses.

But then the 12-24mm was introduced and all was well again. I wouldn't really need anything wider than 18mm on film, so the new zoom fulfilled all requirements very comfortably.

The pixel count is fine at 14.6MP - no doubt eventually that will increase again.

So do I want bigger, heavier full frame cameras now? Not really.

Yes, a really simple idea that works.

This could be a good time to buy up some 645 lenses whilst the prices are low....

Probably some strange interplanetary alignment that pulled all Pentax Users towards each other at the same time.

This is the sort of question that is loved by those who want to find significance in numbers. In fact, there has to be some date and time when the most people were on line for some reason or another, probably coincidence.

It would seem less significant if we knew that the day after, 321 people were on line....
