Originally posted by Mistral75 smc Pentax-FA 24-90mm f/3.5-4.5 [IF] AL is 15 years old (launched in 2001). That's a lot, in particular for a zoom lens.
It still has got 2 aspherical lenses, not so bad.
Reviews usually give it btw 8 and 9,4 /10 mark on FF :
- very good color rendition
- excellent flare resistance
- fast AF
- little CA
- decent bokeh
- soft in the corners, especially in the long end
The main advantage being the very light weight. Proposed as a kit zoom with Pentax MZ-S, which was the last "PROsumer" FF from Pentax.
