Pentax k-x What is a good lense to get?
Im looking to get another lense with my camera other then the Kit Lense. What would be a good lense to get next? And as of right now Im looking for one of the lenses that dont cost too much. Thanks in advance.
Oh and it can be any type of lense. I am new to photography and am unsure of what kind of lense I should have other then the prime kit lense.
Eric, since the K-x comes with the 18-55mm lens which will take care of about 90% of your photography I suggest using it for a few months before even thinking about another lens. Why? Because during that time you’ll get a better idea for what type of photography you like doing the most and you’ll learn the capabilities and limitations of the 18-55mm lens. You can also use that time to read this book: ‘David Busch’s Quick Snap Guide to Using Digital Slr Lenses’. http://www.dbusch.com
Eric, suppose someone tells you that you really “need” the Pentax 55-300mm because they have it. Over the next 3 or 4 months you may decide that you love landscape and macro photography. You may discover that you like low-light photography without a flash. The 55-300mm lens is not the lens you’ll use for those types of photography. You will have wasted your money.
For landscapes the Smc Pentax DA 12-24mm f4.0 ED AL (IF) would be a good choice.
For macro photography the SMC Pentax D FA 100mm f2.8 Macro would be a good choice.
For low-light photography the SMC Pentax FA 50mm f1.4 is your lens of choice.
So buy the camera with the Standard Lens and don’t even think about another lens for a few months. Read Busch’s book.
I suggest buying a Haze/UV filter to protect the front element of your lens, a Circular Polarizer (used to darken a blue sky and to remove glare/reflections from water, sand, glass, snow and painted metal – but not polished metal) and a good tripod when you buy the camera.
A larger sensor for a pocket camera-Coat As readers are painfully aware of time, I'm obsessed with the cameras with large collector. Or, rather, with a large sensor cameras that they are indeed small. For most of the history of the Digital Camera, which has was a contradiction.
