Hi,
I am about to purchase a KD-10. I already own a Z-20 with lenses:
Pentax SMC-FA 28-80mm F3.5-4.7
Sigma 75-300 F4.5-5.6 APO
I have shot with this trio for 10 years and now I am even more serious into photography. Though they were good choices with my budget then, I am looking forward to phase them out with more serious pieces of glass, so here is the plan: I get my KD-10 body first and subsist with my old lenses till I can afford to replace them with DA* 16-50 2.8 and DA* 50-135 2.8, one at a time.
I will also get prime lenses and I am looking for the best quality regardless of the price. For my standard prime lens, I came up with a list like this:
Pentax 31/1.8 LE
Pentax 43/1.9 LE
Pentax 50mm/1.4
Sigma 30mm/1.4 EX DC
I have read some review that Sigma 30/1.4 was not superior than Pentax 31/1.8 but could not come up with a result with how it compares to 43/1.9. 50 1.4 must be a good choice though it is somewhat tele with 1.5x
What are you guys' opinions?
