A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

If you could only use one lens for the rest of time what would it be?

Pentax FA 50/1.4.

Potentially: Pentax HD 43/1.9 Limited, but I just bought it yesterday so I don’t know yet.

Both lenses go on all my digital and 35mm film SLRs due to external “screwdriver” AF and manual aperture ring.

Excellent. Mine is the 35/2.8 Limited. It just stays on my camera most of the time.

That 43 is one of my favourite lenses of all time. Tell me what you think.
