I've owned most of those at some point. The one I haven't owned is the M28/2 (didn't know there was one). I had the K28/2, which is a superb lens and everybody should have one. There is nothing to fault about this lens.
The M50/1.4 is a very good lens, sharp, easy to focus, perhaps a slightly cold colour compared to the others. The A85/1.4 is optically superb. It's lightweight but quite large and perhaps a little bulky to handle. They are usually very expensive and difficult to come by. The M85/2 is popular with a lot of people. I never particularly liked mine for 2 reasons. First, mine was slow to focus. I remember it taking more than 360 degrees to go from near to infinity, but my memory may be at fault. I also found it heavy to focus, perhaps it needed regreasing or something. Otherwise it's very small and convenient. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Nick Wright > Sent: 20 March 2007 17:22 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Lens suggestions > > So I'm starting to think a little more seriously about putting > together the Pentax kit.
