Hi does anyone here knows if these lenses, K3's original lenses, are any good? I think I want to change the lenses for a better one(sharp ones) so I can use the camera as a B camera for a feature Drama. We're choosing the K3 because of it's size and because I already have one. The size of the B camera is important since we are going to get into small and restricted places ( e.i Subway, mostly places where you need permit).

I'm looking for a warm look, so what kind of lenses should I use?

Thanks

The K3 lens is ok and for the purposes of your shoot it should be fine. The lens isn't the sharpest but if you have the M42 mount you can use nikon lenses or any pentax M42 screw mount type. If you have the bayonet mount then you can use zooms such as the one on a Kinor 16 SX2M, but you'd have to get it collmated. Take a look at the pic here, it's from one of my shoots with a K3. It's not the best quality but look at it anyway.

No problem, I should have also mentioned that this was shot using Fuji 250T. What kind of stock are you using for your shoot?
