3 weeks into 'proper' photography and I already own 4 lenses

I must draw a close to this spending soon (oh I NEED a flash also!), although it is handy that Pentax are backward compatible with their legacy lenses, it is interesting and educating to thoroughly research before bidding at auction.

The latest purchase today was a SMC Pentax-A  28mm F2.8 lens for landscape photography.

I love the 50mm F1.7 version, I find is particularly great fun for creative photography both indoors and out.

The 18-55mm WR kit lens is definitely in an inferior class although it has its place also for casual photography and hauling up the mountains in the rucksack in inclement weather.

The Kiron 70-210 ZOOM is just OK but suffers from Purple Fringing although that is probably my fault using it at very small apertures, for example, F18.

I am in no way completely confident in using the K-30 yet and I couldn't face reading the 300 page manual in one go. I have been using MF and I haven't learnt the depths of AF in the camera yet.

Here are a few more with the 50mm F1.7...
