>>2849382pentax shill pls go nobody wants your shitty film era lenses, extensive crop only lens system, and dated body hardware. Also only the K1/3/5/7 have the full controls. K50 only has twin dials.
I'll stick with my own film era lenses and worst value body features in any DSLR system, thank you very much.
>>2849379You'll know if you've ever had a chance to shoot with a pro ergo Nikon camera. WB, ISO, QUAL have dedicated buttons on the left dial. Metering mode has its own selector. A mode button to select modes, instead of fiddling with a dial. AF-ON button naturally placed under the thumb for back button focusing. Everything has a purpose and a place, and it feels Just Right™.
By comparison, the prosumer bodies have a mode dial, WB, QUAL, and ISO share buttons on the back and turn on the screen when you use them, I don't even know how you change metering mode on a prosumer body, and Nikon hates us so much they nudged the AF-L button too far to the left to comfortably use as an AF-ON button. Not that you can't but it doesn't feel as natural.
By comparison, Canon has pro ergo on everything from the XXD bodies and up, with an AF nipple here and there.
>>2849391No.
>>2849392I'd say a used cheap 105/2.8D is the best value of the bunch. Short tele, better working distance. The 60/2.8D is the cheapest of the bunch, but still optically great. The 60 G I've not looked at. The 105 G is truly very sharp, and you don't have to use the VR.
I don't know about the D lenses, but the autofocus on the 105 G isn't /terrible/. It's about as fast as the cheaper AF-S lenses (18-xx, 70-300VR), just with a longer focus range. Just use the distance limiter.
