I saw it yesterday as well... popped up in my feed. I follow Kai and for what he does I just find him entertaining.
Originally posted by Jonathan Mac Good to see and hear some good things being said about Pentax lenses. I wasn't aware that their lenses have been the butt of jokes, to my knowledge they're well-regarded...
Oh for certain. He and a few others have poked at Pentax in videos over the years, kicking the underdog so to speak. It's never been the glass that's been the butt of jokes, more the newer cameras, only occasionally and in fun really.
But he's always admitted every time that he actually love the brand overall.
I think he did a fine job letting newer shooters and those just new to mirrorless know about this lens (and the Pentax line beyond the more well-known Taks) from a practical point of view. There's information presented just fine and I don't know that a lens of this era needs an in-depth technical review for this kind of audience. That info is around for any that care to look. I appreciated it. (And though I doubt I'd ever part with my copy, nice to know the price should get a tiny boost for a while.)
