Hi guys,
Need your opinions as I am looking to upgrade from Kit lens. I have some extensive research but its very hard to come up with a consistent answer so I hope the pros here can help me figure out. I have narrowed down my choices to the following:
Tamron 17-50mm
Pentax DAL 35mm
Pentax 40mm Ltd
I think the Tamron is a shoe-in to replace the Kit. However I also saw that the DAL 35mm isn't any better than the Tamron at 35mm.
Finally, how much better is the 40mm Ltd compared to the other two? Looking at this lens simply for the WOW factor.
My main concern is if the primes aren't that much better than the Tamron, I'll get that instead. However if there is a big and discernible different in pic quality between the cheap 35mm and the Tamron, then I would go for the 35mm.
