If you don’t read the spec sheet before you see it, you may be surprised at how small and lite this lens is. At roughly 2.5 x 3 inches, it’s roughly the same size as the Pentax 20-40mm Limited lens, which has been commended for its portability. In fact, considering the meager size and weight, all-...
| | SMC/S-M-C/Super-/Auto-/Takumar 55mm F1.8 Review |
Mine is the latest version of Super Takumar.
Pros: Manual focus, metal and glass, without plastic, with diaphragm ring, without electronics, without needing to update it, durable, reliable, beautiful, cheap, eternal.
Cons: Who said cons?
Further:
At f/5.6-f/11: almost perfect flat field, same s...
| | HD Pentax-DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 Limited Review |
This is my new favorite lens--and the one that will remain on my camera for the vast majority of the time. (Most of the pictures that I take fall within this range--which is effectively about 30-60mm on the K3.)
My copy has no softness anywhere: it is sharp from corner to corner across the focal...
| | SMC Pentax 24mm F3.5 Review |
A lot better than I expected, given some of the lukewarm reviews. Centre sharpness good throughout, towards the corners pretty soft wide open, improves when stopped down, even if never spectacularly sharp at the edges. Very satisfactory lens particularly on crop sensors such as M4/3, where the corne...
| | SMC Pentax-M 50mm F2 Review |
When talking or thinking about Pentax 50mm lenses, for some reason the f2 hardly shows up on the radar; and when it does, it is generally tagged straightforward
ly as a ‘kit lens’ or ‘starter tool’... a lens with a simple, when not even ’primitive’, optical design. In reality the SMC Pentax-M 50mm ...
| | SMC Pentax-A 35mm F2.8 Review |
Purchased on eBay Switzerland, in new condition with its hard case for €66.00 plus shipping, the lens appears to have never been used.
Somewhat soft at f/2.8 but perfectly usable, it reaches its maximum sharpness at f/8 and f/11.
Small, well made, with metal diaphragm ring (not like the infamous o...
| | SMC Pentax-A 35-105mm F3.5 Review |
Found a good example for $50 on eBay. Very minor cosmetic wear, optics nearly flawless, visible dust as you'd expect for a lens verging on 40 years old. My SMC-A 70-210 looks the same, and it's been treated well, so I expect the 35-105 to produce the same quality photos as its longer sibling. Ini...
| | SMC Pentax-M 35-70mm F2.8-3.5 Review |
I got lucky, it came with one of my old cameras. I haven't used it as much as I would like, but it's a great lens nonetheless. It's super sharp, has a great focal range, feels very well-built, and I can appreciate how wide its aperture is.
However, it's undeniably super heavy (especially on my ti...

, on Flickr
I used this lens for a month, taking at least 1 photo every day as part of the single in challenge on pentaxforums. This is one of the most difficult lens to come up with subjects that work with it. The limited zone of focus is only acceptable from 30cm to 3-4 metres and even then it ...
