Pentax Lenses on FF Club

Achromatter · 07-30-2015, 04:51 AM

I don't think I've ever scrolled down so fast, here on PF, before...lol.

And never so disappointed once I did.

thanks thanks.. i do agree that 55 is a very good lens. It wasn't on my want list in the past.

one more from the DA*55..

I'm a proof of the pudding is in the eating kind of guy.
Which is why I dislike getting into all those big theory arguments about whether a lens is FF ok or not.

"Just take a damn picture with it" and move on imo.

Wonderful lens indeed even on FF.

I've read good things and impressive samples from fellow forum user OSV and decided to get one.

I must say that for the money, this is an impressive lens indeed.
I left a full sized sample on my flickr for those who are interested.

It holds up nicely on FF

K24/2.8

May not be the sharpest lens on the edges on a camera with thick sensor stack like the stock A7, but there is this 'bite' on a K24/2.8 image that just makes me reach for it so often.
Something to do with the way it handles contrasts (micro-contrast is the term perhaps) not just raw fine sharpness.
Also the over package of the lens, the size, the flare handling.
