Hi fellow Pentaxian bros! I just got myself a blue K-X for my birthday and is now contemplating to get one prime lens to use as a general walk-about lens. I have a GF1 with 20mm F1.7 pancake so I am hoping to buy a lens which is about the same focal and speed as the 20mm pancake as I have gotten quite use to and really like the 40mm (35mm equivalent) focal length and also the fast F1.7.
After reading up on the web, I have shortlisted 3 lenses which might be able to fulfill my need. I want to seek your opinions/advices on which one of them would be most suitable for my needs? Most importantly it must be lightweight and fast (for low-light shooting). Image quality don't need to be the best but hopefully at least as good as the Panny 20mm.
My 3 shortlisted lenses:
1) SMC Pentax DA 40MM F2.8 LIMITED
2) SMC Pentax-FA 35mm F2.0 AL
3) SMC Pentax FA 50mm F1.4
