I went the other way - I used to own the DA40mm but sold it and bought the FA 35mm instead.

Personally I found the DA40mm a bit on the "fiddly" side although as you say this has advantages too - as I owned the K20D at the time it still didn't make it particularly compact though. The main advantage I find with the 35mm is that despite the difference been relatively small between focal lengths the 40mm just seemed a bit long in most situations I used it, the 35mm suits me better in this respect

Thanks for the info guys...

They want 50 photographs and suggest 1 day - sounds a big ask to me so have quoted additional time at a reduced rate.

As far as equipment goes the K5 should manage it easily, together with the AF360. Ideally I prefer to take as many shots using natural lighting as possible but obviously this isn't always viable inside buildings - if I can do the shoot on a decent weather day it should at least help in this respect both inside and out.

I've been approached by a school to quote for shooting photos for their prospectus - obviously this isn't my usual remit and just wondered if anyone could offer a little advice?

Thanks

Hi Simon

Is this the version I or II? Does it have a plastic or metal mount?

Thanks
I guess it must be version I as no reference is made to a version number, it has a metal mount

Panasonic LX5 would definitely be my choice,if it's good enough for Charlie Waite it's definitely good enough for me...

whilst I'm really happy with the K5 unfortunately Pentax wouldn't be on my list if looking for a high quality compact
