Pentax K1-Mark II, Samyang, Rokinon and Pentax's all around D FA 28-105mm

**mhsp1948** · 09-02-2022, 05:25 PM - **9 Likes**

There are those of you who know I left Pentax and just lately came back and so glad I did. Purchasing the K1-Mark II, plus four lenses - the Pentax D FA 28-105 WR, Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC Prime, Smayang 50mm F.14 AS UMC Prime and Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AS IF UMC Prime. Can't say enough about the K1-Mark II and the four lenses I decided to get. Here are photos using the lenses. Yes, really having a great time again. Hard to put in words but really having fun and very satisfied.

Although true that it's possible to take good photos with just about any camera, to have one that feels just right and a pleasure to use makes it easier to get out and do it.

Just wait till you do some long exposure with it.... I've owned really good Pentax cameras but my K1 Mkll is special to me.

Nice work.

It is great when the camera and lens combinations make it fun to shoot. The 28-105mm is my walk around lens.

I have the Smayang 35mm F.14 AS UMC and found it a nice match with the K1-MII. I just need to start using it more.
