Pentax S-M-C 120mm f2.8 ??

txbonds · 09-26-2007, 09:05 AM

Anyone ever seen or touched one of these? I can't find any reviews on it and have come across a basically mint copy of this lens available.

I've been looking for a 135mm S-M-C f2.5 lens, but haven't been able to find one. So, other options have been the 105 f2.8 and now this 120mm.

Any reviews or experiences?

Thanks,

Greg

I don't know about the 120, but I can say that the 135 f2.5 frequently becomes available. How long have you been looking? It took about 2 months to get mine, and I've become very happy with it. I got mine thru KEH by watching the "in-trasit inventory" listings. A friend got hers thru eek bay, she used mine and liked it so much she wanted her own. IIRC, she looked for about 6 weeks.

txbonds,

It's listed here: Pentax K-Mount Lenses and Lens Accessories

You can also hunt for info @ Pentax Lens Wiki | Main / PentaxLensWiki

Sounds like a great find...I've got a Super Takumar 105 f/2.8 that's wonderful!

2.5 or like 2.8 is one stop faster than 3.5 right?
