It has a very nice 45/1.7 on it. It sat on the shelf until recently when I took it out for a walk. Since then it's been out for night photography and along for some bike rides. I'm not sure, if I had to choose only one, that this would be the camera/lens I'd pick. I wouldn't complain, though, as it's really a pretty nice little rig.
When I'm limited to one lens I will usually pick a normal (50 or 55, depending on the camera) or maybe something slightly wider (28 or 35). If I were Peter and I had access to a 31LTD, that's the one I would choose. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
