Do EFS Lenses Really Give Better Image Quality on 1.6 Bodies?

[gdanmitchell]

At the risk of starting to steer off-topic, I want to agree with Johannes that Pentax

provides some very interesting and unique gear for folks who want small cameras with

fairly wide angle primes. (Follow his link to see a list.)

 

This seems to be in the "Pentax DNA." Years ago I used a couple of Pentax bodies (MX and

ME) along with three of their excellent prime lenses - a 100mm, a 50mm f/1.4, and a very

cool little 40mm f/2.8 "pancake" lens that was about half the size of a typical lens of that

focal length.

 

The newest digital offerings from Pentax include several interesting lenses along these

lines including some small and relatively wide primes.

 

Although I'm a confirmed Canon shooter at this point, if I were starting from scratch and

wanted to stick to the sorts of lenses in the Pentax lineup I don't think I'd hesitate to get

their gear.
