My 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.7 and 135mm f3.5 Pentax ‘M’ lenses that I use with my ME and MX bodies. Why photograph them today? Well, I love the colours reflected in the coatings... and I’ve been thinking about lenses recently. If you ever read any of the on line photography forums, everyone seems to be asking about which lenses to buy, or which lens is best. Daft questions, as it doesn’t really matter. Choose the focal length you want, then it’s just a matter of how much money you want to spend. The more you spend, the better the lens, remembering that better can mean construction, focus speed, aperture size etc etc. So is an EF 17-40 f4 L better than an EF-S 18-55 f3.5-5.6? Of course it is, it’s 6 times the price!! You’ll know it’s better just by holding it in you hand. But you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference in a photograph taken at f11. More important is the person behind the camera. Got that? Good!
