Love this lens. Stuck on my camera.

Heres from a walk in the woods.

Some LR colour and light tweaks + cropping.
Click on it for bigger size and more from that trip.

Got this pretty lens this week in very good conditions.
Less purple fringing than the fa77/1.8 limited. I love it already.

agreed, this is quite underrated lens....i have sold my FA77 after acquiring K85 and kept K85 and DA70 for telephoto photography

Here are two more reasons, why i like this lens.
Both at f/4, second one against hard sunlight. No purple and green roses
Even if i take photographs of people, i just use the catch in focus. It works great. I sold my FA77 last week.

edit: the first one is better on my laptop. resizing isnt good on that. Have a look here:

Drat, the resale price of the K85 just went up another 10% after you posted very nice images!

[Mars27]

It is a really great lens. Nice rendering, good colors (even the reds).

Today I want to show some pictures taken with the K 30mm/2.8 @ 2.8 and 4.0.
I like the rendering very much, although sometimes it produces harsh reds. Did some pp to correct this.

Your K lenses are stunning, Mars27! Love those flower pictures. Gotta get me some more K love. There's one lens I already have my sights on... but won't say which one, don't want others to scoop these before I get the chance

Another X-post from Single In Group... I particularly liked the bokeh in this shot.

SMC Pentax 35mm f3.5 + K1000 + Portra 160

[ChristianRock]

Pentax-K 55mm f2 on K20D, straight out of camera. It's a bit underexposed but I didn't adjust levels at all. I like it like that actually...

[jimr-pdx]

I nearly had to expel myself from the group but have re-acquired the SMC 17 fish-eye - such a fun lens and plenty wide for my tastes. Now I guess I must sell the 8mm & expel myself from the Rokinon club instead

Hmmm, 35 or 85 next? Yes I know the answer: both!

I sold my copy of this lens a while back, wondering if/when I would get another. The F 17-28FE had some advantages (auto aperture, zoom, f/3.5 so a touch faster), and the Takumar 17 would serve well also. Well I won a bid this week on the K version and copy #2 just arrived. Very nice, as good as the last one - if anything it might be in slightly better external condition The close-focus abilities are better on the prime, and I use that a lot... so in the end the decision was pretty easy!
