The only lens I would take, would be the 35mm macro at the moment.

The 31mm Ltd. Because it's the best, and because I think it may stand up better to the rigours of a desert island than a zoom lens, even a WR version.

It's also a good focal length for a single lens.

I plan on visiting a desert island in the not too distant future, perhaps you would be so kind as too lend me your treasured 31mm.
Or if a moment of complete madness should overtake you, maybe even sell it too me.
I regret never taking up an offer of 400quid 6 months ago

What more do you need, and you can use it as a scope on the camera to scan the horizon for ships!
And you could remove the front element and use it too make a fire. I would never do that with the 31mm would rather starve first.
Hardgravity was meaning the Sigma not the 31mm,but I can understand where your coming from.

Not at all, it's YOUR call, your preference based on things only you know.

It's not all "big" money stuff Gearge. I'm waiting for a Bush Hawk Pro system from Adorama, out of stock, it's for the Pentax and Nikon kit. Only the two trigger cables differ.

My problem George is since 1982, everything I've bought, I've kept.

Silly really.

Best Regards

Life is too short gentlemen.

I fly from Qatar to Bahrain in the morning to attend a funeral

A good mate of mine who was drinking a pint in the Awali Golf Clubhouse two weeks ago, had his life support machine switched off last Saturday. Funeral is this coming Saturday.

We don't know what is round the corner. To waste time over issues can't be a good thing. We are all different and that's why we are here on this forum.

Respect to you both.

Regards

Gary

Bit off topic Geaorge but looking at your core kit, you are the Pentax Flash Gun Barron of this site....


Best regards

Yep, istD for me too, since I bought it a few months ago. Mostly used with a Pentacon 50mm f1.8 (with K adapter) and Pentax 28mm F f2.8 as the standard AF prime.

Images matter more than automation and technology...

I don't have a 31mm George. I love the reports and everyone says it is the biz. IF the new K9 : is FF then I'll buy a 31mm.

That's exactly it.

What would your lens choice be if it could only be one?

P30e for 12 years with the two kit zooms
Then various Fuji bridge cameras.
Then back to the fold with the K10D (bought with the 16-45 and 10-17), most often carried with the fisheye or m 50 1:7 and extension tubes.
So is it the 16-45 or the 10-17? If you have to ditch one, what would it be? Same issue as "no lens change shoots".

Go to a shoot. You know the location and subject matter etc but can only have ONE lens......
