| Pentax M 200 f4. totally mad sharp a stop down. if you don't mind MFocusing, this is a killer. I prefer it much better than the K 300 f/4. though the 300 is 100mm longer, it is more of a hit and miss lens. kinda frustrating actually. PF and CA are just too much on the K 300.
btw, this lens is cheaper than the K 300, sold at 200 I think. it's also better in terms of IQ. it is generally way better than any telezooms available at that focal length. except probably the FA* and DA*.
I think you could solve the focal length issue of this lens by adding up a 1.4x AF teleconverter. guess that should also solve the manual focusing. probably the new K7 would also be able to boost up the lens' speed deficiency and perform much better under lowlight. detailed noise is eminent I believe. but I think, that's a forte. |
