<p>Here is the M: http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-M-100mm-F4-Macro-Lens.html<br>

I have the K: http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-K-100mm-F4-Macro-Lens.html<br>

Both are great lenses. :)</p>

<p>I'd like to combine the K-01 with a very compact and very good WA zoom with the K-5 and my Pentax glass.</p>

<p>I've just got my K-5, and will now sell my EOS 5D Mk II and all my EOS lenses. :)<br>

I want to keep it small and light. :))</p>

<p>I skipped the FA 20/2.8 for now. I may pick up a DA 21/3.2 some day.</p>

<p>I think I'll go for a new K-5 with a new FA 20mm/2.8. Got a good offer that I can think about over the weekend (must answer during monday). Any comments?<br>

Plan to use it together with the FA 50mm/1.4 and some Pentax M, K and A lenses. :)</p>

<p>What about FA 20mm/2.8 compared to the DA 21/3.2?</p>

<p>Perhaps I'll just use my A 28mm/2 and pick up a cheap Sigma 10-20mm for ultra WA. I need to get a K-5 before I buy any new lenses. </p>

<p>In the old days, with 135 film, a compact 35mm was my standard lens. I've had the DA 21mm/3.2, and it was an OK lens but a little slow and a little wide.<br>

I'll check out the Sigma 24mm/1.8. </p>

<p>OK, thank you all!<br>

Could a DA 26.5mm/2.4 (or 2.8) be made compact, light and very good?<br>

I have an A 28mm/2 and think it was OK on K-7.</p>

<p>I Want a compact and very good Pentax DA 24mm/2. Why don't Pentax make a lens like that?</p>

<p>5D and 5D MarkII are the smallest DSLR with a 24x36mm sensor out there. That's why I use 5D MarkII. I started with a 5D and 2 EF lenses, but then I suddenly wanted to upgrade the camera and to buy more good and inexpensive lenses. My lenses and the camera is a good reason to stay with Canon for a while. :)</p>

<p>At this date, February 25, 2010, these cameras, K-5, D7000 and A55, was not ready for the marked.</p>

<p>The cheap Tamron AF 70-300mm f4-5.6 LD Di macro for Pentax K is an OK lens from 70 to a little longer than 200mm. I have used it with a K-7. Great value for the cost.<br>

<p>Photozone.de says that the EF 17-40/4 i a good lens from 20-40mm. I plan to buy it for my 5DII. I don't need the range from 17-19mm. :)</p>

<p>EF 100mm/2 on 5D.</p>

<p>My K-7 needed -9 to focus correct with my AF-lenses. I sent it in, and the Pentax service (here in Norway) adjusted the AF-sensor to the correct position. I didn´t have to pay anything for the fix.Now the camera fokus perfect.<br>

If I have any problem like that when I get the K-5, I´ll sent it back too.</p>

<p>Thank you, Dave! :)</p>

<p>Battery for Pentax 67: Duracell Photo 28L, 6V Litium. http://battstore.stores.yahoo.net/du28l6liphba.html</p>

<p>I have these 135 cameras for film:<br>

Pentax: ME-super, MX and LX<br>

Olympus: OM-2n<br>

Nikon: Nikonos V<br>

Yashica rangefinder: Minister 700<br>

My prefered camera right now is OM-2n and LX, followed by MX and the very silent ME-super.</p>

<p>I have both the DA 35/2.8 Macro and the FA 43/1.9. Both are great from 2.8. I also really like the 43 at 1.9. :)</p>

<p>Is the DA 40mm f2.8 Limited really that good?</p>

<p>Why not the Pentax DA 35/2.8? A perfect lens.</p>

<p>Robin: On a DX camera the lens hood in the FA 77mm is too short.<br />2 years ago I had a DA 70 and a bougt a FA 77 before I sold the DA 70. To be honest I liked to use the DA 70 better than to use the FA 77, but I stuck to my plan and sold the DA 70. Then I switched to D700 and sold all my Pentax gear. Now I'm back with Pentax, and I'm happy to own and use a DA 70 again. The FA 77 is bigger and heavier than the little DA 70, and I didn't lie that. I always use the hood that works very well on my DA 70. :)</p>

<p>National Geographic Channel also sponsors this. Great! :)</p>

<p>Justin, I agre with this:<br>

"I could easily see buying a K-5 as my backup (or main camera depending on if low ISO was better or not, if it's not K-7 remains main camera, K-5 backup/high ISO shooter) and retiring the K10D. I'd much rather have 2 K-7 like cameras than a K-7 and a K-x/K-r which is what it seems many people have considered. Also, I prefer the layout of my cameras to be identical IF possible which makes the K10D something I'd like to eventually lose. So again, going with a K-5 makes a ton of sense regardless of whether it's the main or backup."</p>

<p>But I think my K-7 would be my backup camera. "I'd much rather have 2 K-7 like cameras than a K-7 and a K-x/K-r which is what it seems many people have considered." :))</p>
