DA 10-17 fisheye... at 17.

and my favorite of the batch:

I took the 43 with me but used it on only one picture that didn't work very well. Who needs normal?

Thoughts on 24mm

I did my walk today, as I had said. I took a kit consisting of 14, 24, 43, 50 macro, and 77 with me (all fitting within my crumpler 3-slot bag... fear the Pentax system).

Of those lenses, I only used three - 24, 50, and 77. I forced myself to use the 24 more than the others, I think, at least for a more widely varied range of situations.

I will be posting a gallery, hopefully tomorrow, with all of the shots from today that weren't horribly blown out for not paying attention to metering. Some of them turned out quite nicely, I think, but I'd like critique on the basic: considering how I prefer abusing wide-angle lenses, what do you think?

More coming as it develops (ha ha get it it is a photo blog)

[edit] MORE HAS DEVELOPED! The picasa gallery is here.

Some highlights from the 24:
