I think Steven Scharf meant 35mm f2.8 T* Sonnar on the Contax T3. I know I would not have loved or used mine half as much if it had been wearing a 28mm. I'm still looking for the digital equivalent of the T3. We're not there yet in terms of size, viewfinder and image quality!

Great stuff. After looking at a few of the Claridge pages, I was struck by how many of the photos (particularly the "street") shots lean a few degrees to the right. Full frame "contacts", viewfinder errors, the result of snap chest/hip shooting? It had me wondering all through the rest of the pages. Yes, there are a few that lean left, as well.

Contax T-3 Still looking for the digital equivalent of it! E-P1 with 20mm Panasonic and the LX-3 are close, but not quite. I have owned, used and liked many of the small cameras mentioned here. There are many good ones.

You really ought to give the the DA 21mm f3.2 a fair chance to win the spot on your K-5. The lens speed should be more than adequate on the K-5, given the high ISO performance of that camera. The angle of view is so close to the 35mm "traditional" that you should be comfortable with it. I had fears that it would be "feel" more like a 28mm equivalent (which is to say, wide), but it does not, at least to me. A truly great lens, and it is readily available. If you really do want a 24mm, the (old) Sigma Super-Wide II (f2.8) is very nice, and available in the manual focus "A" version for reasonable money. I don't use mine much though, as I prefer the Pentax 21mm to it. There is an AF version as well, but quite rare. - Mike

Worth seeing is "In The Shadow Of The Moon." Not photography as such, moving history of the moon missions, told by those who went on them. Beautiful archival images. Teaser here: http://www.intheshadowofthemoon.com/ Rent it from Netflix, or Click through TOP's Amazon link to buy. Recommended!
