Cross post from the manual zoom club, shots taken a few months ago but I forgot this club existed.

I just picked up a gently used k5iis this past weekend and here's a couple shots I took with my Sears 35-70mm f3.5 close focus lens. It rained all day so I didn't get many shots but I like what I was able to capture. That lens impresses me with its sharpness whenever I use it.

I don't own a Pentax camera but I do however have a Sears 60-300mm lens ordered. I can't wait to try it out.

Hello and welcome!
I think you're going to enjoy your 60-300. The zoom range and 1.2m minimum focus distance make it a very versatile lens.

Made in Korea 50mm f1.7

Does anyone here know any background about this lens? I'd never seen a Korean Sears 50 before I recently found mine as part of a Sears camera lot on eb*y.







It has a metal barrel, 6 aperture blades and the aperture ring has no half stops. The focus ring turns the "wrong" way for Pentax shooters and has about 90 degrees of rotation. The minimum focus distance is 60cm.

Thus far, I've used it mostly with my K10D. I'd say it's a bit soft wide open, but gets nicely sharp by f/4. My copy seems to be decentered, so it's not going to get much use for landscapes. Although it seems to work better for subject isolation...


f/1.7




f/5.6 with extension tube



(Both shots taken with my K10D and were post processed.)


Two of my favorite "value" lenses are the Korean made Sears 28mm & 135mm with PK-A mounts. My newfound PK 50mm makes me wonder if there might actually be a Sears PK-A 50mm out there somewhere...?
