The pankcake 40mm F2.8 M lens is just another example Of a lens where there is NO NEW EQUIV. These lenses should be fully supported as you cant Even buy a new one like it if you wanted to. joc

The downside is I don't want "pancake" lenses, I want larger units with some holding space on 'em. And I want that 21mm faster than 3.2. I'd trade off the "pancake" ability for another 1.5 or 2 stops of speed at the same price point, but what do I know? I mostly make this up as I go along... As for a 70/2.4? Eh, whatever. An FA50/1.4 will probably be under cost and 1.33 stops faster. Again, maybe the little pancake thing appeals to someone, somewhere, but it ain't me. Its the right direction, but not what I'm looking for exactly (then again, what I'm mostly looking for is something to complain about). -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
