Lens comparsion

Paulas · 04-18-2015, 12:35 AM

Hi all,
My question may be a little bit lame but I'm pretty curious about this. There are lots of comparsions between canon/nikon lenses but I didn't find any between nikon or canon and pentax lenses. So I wanna ask you guys if you have any experience or if you could compare them in terms of image quality, autofocus etc.
Thank you.

There are some broader articles on lenses across all brands, incl. Nikon, Olympus, Leica, Zeiss, Voigtlander,... A good one IMHO is:

Back in 2002, 'The Best (Autofocus) Lenses Money Can Buy' was... a Pentax! I let you read to find which one. Here at PF, we seem to agree very much

....

My 5 cents...

Genuine Pentax, Canon, and Nikon lenses are all very good, generally-speaking. The design philosophy varies from brand-to-brand, though, and I guess comparisons are rare since you can't easily adapt them on other mounts.

Thanks guys.
That article was very nice to read and changed my angle of view a little bit. Hopefully someday I will be able to own some of the sweet limited lens.
