LBA first shots - A*135/1.8

[frank]

Just got this lens two days ago ( and my new ME SE too ):



Took some quick shots with it on K-7, all wide open in JPG:











I think I'm gonna have a lot fun with this new baby

Frank I hate you!

Looks like a fine lens, Nice sharpness wide open.

I'd pay big bucks to have this in a DA* lens.

What a sharp lens!
Beautiful colours and amazing detail.
A rareity too - I've not seen one pop up for a while now...
Enjoy!

Thanks It's an amazing lens in deed. Only had it for 2 days, love it already.

Congrats bro... now can I have a go with it one of these days...
All of us are green with envy

[felixkh]

Hehe, can see you are really enjoying the lens . . .

[jsherman999]

So jealous.

[Light_Horseman]

This is one of my dream 'would love to have' lenses. DA* version would be something to really add to the Pentax system.

Great pictures that really show off how good this lens is. Amazingly sharp wide open!

Deep down inside, everyone hates Frank, just a little

[Miguel]

Well, I don't hate you Frank.
Oh, and by the way, can I have your lens, please?

I still hate the fact that Frank's Bokina wasn't sold to me... not that I had the money anyway

Nice lens and congrats on the acquisition Frank

[Adrian Owerko]

DA* 135 f1.8 would be sweet... Sooo would a DA* 135 f4 MACRO

seems to be a great lens. Enjoy it Frank

Sure. If you come to Singapore, I can show you around our city, and my lenses too

Sorry Andi. The Bokina was a great lens. But I couldn't keep all the good lenses I have. Keeping the A100/2.8 macro mostly because it's an A lens, and it's a Pentax

Oh yeah, and I'd swap my A*135 for the DA* 135 in no time

Frank,

How has the purple fringing been behaving? Any chance you could compare PFing when used on a K10D and K-7?

Oh, and I hate you too
