900
It has been alleged that a significant number of people will be receiving a cash handout from the Federal Government sometime in the not too distant future to the tune of 900AUD (or thereabouts). Rather than look at any the political debate that surrounds this, I’d like to take a brief look at the more important question: Which camera lens should I buy?
A quick rundown of the situation as it stands:
Camera body - Pentax K200D
My lens collection -
- Pentax 18-55 / F3.5-5.6: The slow but lightweight kit lens that is no longer used
- Sigma 17-70 / F2.8-4.5: Like a kit lens, but heavier, faster, wider and ‘more telephoto-ish’, the current walk-around
The lens collection on loan from my father who I discovered used to have a working Pentax setup (nice of Pentax to not change mounting bracket… seemingly ever). Admittedly all manual focus and manual aperture:
- 30 / 2.8: Seems like it needs a service or something, don’t use this much
- 50 / 1.7: I do use this one a reasonable amount, and seems quite sharp at 2.8 and up.
- 70-210 / 4: Quite a nice telephoto really, catch for me is the manual focus only
So, with all that in mind, I need to consider what I might actually need for the sort of photography I’m trying to become more involved with. At the present moment my walk-around seems to be doing fine, but I’m thinking it would be nice to either a) get a pancake prime (there is a 40/2.8 and 70/2.4 from Pentax with rather pleasant reviews) to ease the neck-strain of walking around, or b) get something in the ultra-wide-angle space, either prime or zoom, and I’m not ruling out fisheye (having recently seen a number of opportunities where a fisheye would have made for a rather nice composition).
For now I’ll just sit back, and consider even the (shock horror) possibility of not purchasing a lens, as there is certainly more to life than camera trinkets (or so I keep getting told by the wife).
I could of course spend all the money on red balloons, to try and outdo the previous effort by the Jess Squared collective in the Maclab
