40 xs

The XS version does not get enough credit. Mine is insanely sharp for some reason, as good as any nifty fifty. 9 rounded blades and very light. Perfect for panoramas, here are three images stitched together:

I needed some example pictures to demonstrate aperture for my daughter's Girl Scout digital photography badge and took a series of pictures with my DA SMC 40mm Ltd.

My favorite pancake, the DA 40. Great for hiking due to weight and size... however with the results it gives me, I'd still use it if it were 5 lbs:

Here are a couple from a somewhat odd lens, the 18mm f/11 Fisheye-Takumar.

I'm thinking this lens easily qualifies as one of Pentax's pancakes... it's so tiny! It also has what I would describe as an "artistic" rendering (note the fuzzy corners)...







Mounted on a Honeywell H1a using the old Forte Arista.EDU 400. Shot at f/22.

My only first and final shot from the DA40 XS, let it go few weeks ago and still prefer the DA15 Ltd..
