would this be the same in reverse....ie if I wanted a 15mm fov on a k3 for example, I would need to use a 10mm lens?

It is the DA 35 2.4 i have, not 2.8 (my mistake).
Thats the one that seems to give me the best images.
I dont really "want" the A 28mm (i recently sold the one i had!!), just thought it may have been a better option..ie, a little bit wider than the 35.

would a Pentax A 28mm 2.8 be any good for the night sky/milky way? I'm just thinking that as it has an aperture ring, it may be easier to compose in the dark.
I currently have a k3, and have a sigma 10-20, Pentax 18-135, and also the two plastic fantastic's...35mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8.
I've had the best images from the 35mm 2.8 (the 50mm seems too narrow FOV).
or is there any other (cheapish) alternatives/recommendations.

thanks for all the replies.....very helpful.
my camera (k3) did come with a viewfinder cover, but i thought it was just to protect it!!
looking at it, it looks like i would have to remove the viewfinder eyepiece rubber to use it, which seems a bit of a clart on. Bit of black cloth (thanks Vic) sounds like a good idea....or may try a bit blu tac.
i will try again next time im up the caravan....

i was experimenting with some long exposures using an nd3.0 filter, and every image has this light steak on the bottom third of the image. Only the long exposures, between 15 and 30 seconds, have this, all normal exposure images are fine. Ive never really tried this before, am i doing doing something wrong? i have attached an image, straight out of camera.

I started a thread a couple of weeks ago regarding a suitable lens for milky way shots, and asked if the A 28mm 2.8 would be a good choice (i sold the one i had as i wasnt seeing much use), i now think i need to get one again.
