Very nice results. Pentax, take all my money lol!

C_Jones · 03-12-2016, 07:51 PM

Nice pictures. Impressive lens.

I have a feeling this may be the best of all the new lenses. Destined to be a classic.

The only * qualified.

Holy... I just might have to trade in my Sigma for this as I would love to have some WR.

HD Pentax-D FA*, not DA*

Sandy Hancock · 03-13-2016, 01:54 AM

Despite promising myself to resist this lens for at least a while, I am unreasonably excited by this.

its a very nice lens. With this lens and the K1 AF is very fast and excellent tracking. Got to play with the combo this morning. (both pre-production)

Zygonyx · 03-13-2016, 04:36 AM

I know where the K-1 pre-order 125€ bonus will go...

**ffking** · 03-13-2016, 05:28 AM

seriously impressive results - serious rethinking of my roadmap for future purchases
