I know Pentax get criticised for the lens line-up, and most of us can't wait to get our hands on a new prime, but I think the criticism is overdone.

Anyone buying a K1 now can have a DFA :

15-30 2.8
24-70 2.8
70-200 2.8
150-450 4.5/5.6

I have three of these (exception is the 70-200) and find them all excellent.

In addition there are the previous DA lenses 60-250; 200 and 300, plus the 3 FA Ltds, FA* lenses such as the 85 and the 24, plus all the wonderful lenses made over the last 40 years. That seems a pretty impressive line up to me.

Very well said Jarek.

Just did a bit of research and discovered that contrary to what I had previously believed , Jeremy Bentham did not attend regular council meetings of the UCL.

However he has made a number of guest appearances of which the latest was in 2013.

For those who don't know him, he is credited with being the spiritual father of UCL. He died in 1832 !

Very interesting angle. I see it is at UCL. Do they still wheel Jeremy Bentham out for council meetings ?

If you look at my profile thumbnail picture you will clearly see I had my trusty *ist DS with me when I came across the Martians in 2006.

"Should've gone with a Pentax"

I change favourites all the time, but as i have been recently doing a lot of pet portraits with a flash setup, my current favourite has to be the FA* 85m 1.4 which I use on the K-1.

I know this can be a very subjective view but it just seems to bring them to life in pictures. It very much gives me a sense of occasion too when it goes on the camera.

Jason Shutter ?

Must be a colleague of Sarah Sensor

Welcome

Looks interesting, I will try and get to see that.
