I purchased this lens in amongst a bunch of Pentax M primes and I am really thinking it is an unexpected cherry.

very nice...my widest prime is a 50 so I`m just anxious to get something wider (besides my zooms)...very nice indeed

Awesome. I got the AT-X 17mm 3.5 for video work...but it is (unfortunately) for the Canon mount.

I have one these. Must be from the 90´s, and originally bought for film bodies. Nevertheless it has served me very well. With a FF body it produces an impressive field of view without too much distortion. Wide open contrast is a bit so and so, but stopped down it is a very capable lens. With a wideangle you can usually afford to stop down 1/2 or 1 stop without difficulties.

I'm a big fan of this on a film body - it's a really nice lens.

I found this lens quite remarkable too - *especially on film* - altough I am in the middle of my Ektar roll, but I did try it on Kodak Gold 200 an 400 - just for fun of using it and some testing both films and the equipment. Here are pictures Xlinked from other place, I thought it would be still relevant :

Kodak Gold 200, Tokina 17mm, Pentax Z1p


quite grainy but somehow charming - looking forward to seeing my results with Ektar 100

Three shot Pano using the 17/3.5 RMS


I took same series at the same time with the DA15 Ltd and the Tokina was the winner of that round for detail.

Stunning image! How on earth you've managed to keep the clouds aligned between the shots - weren't they moving ?

Pure luck probably. I would say the whole pano series of three shots took less than 15 seconds from start to finish. I had already pre determined the three shot locations with overlap and noted the degree marks on my tripod, and once I started; I shot, moved to next mark, shot, moved to next mark and shot, so I guess the secret was technique or preparation. I used PS Elements 10, New Panoramic, function for the heavy lifting of stitching the three shots together. I have this shot printed and framed as a 6" x 24" photo hanging in my dining room now. I used online merchant Zazzles who printed and custom framed it quite nicely.

Excellent results with your technique - hopefully will employ it somehow someday
