Originally posted by Ira That was a touching story, but you know as well as I do that not all Taks are equal.
And to me, the Super-Tak 105 is the least equal of all.
Mind you, like I said, I'm going to dedicate this lens to macro work with my bellows, and extension tubes just purchased. (Original Pentax brand!)
But for walking around shooting in my bright Florida sun--eech. It's either flare, or washed out.
Hi Ira.
I saw a lot of mick's pics and didn't watch any problem with the 105s. It's a nice lens to me. Really not as sharp as the 85 (specially the SMC 1,8 version, the best for me). A few days ago, I saw a comparison among the SMC tak 105 and the nikkor one. The differences were subtles and not for the nikkor in all the cases. At F/ 2,8, the nikkor won. But not at 5,6.
The 105 not so bad, man.
Yes, I know, the tests are relative things, but they give us an idea of the lens rendering.
My best regards, Rino.
