Originally posted by MarkJerling Took the dog to the beach (Castlepoint) yesterday. Managed to find a brief break in the weather after which it bucketed down again.
The "new" 35-105mm lens seems sharp and reproduces natural colours beautifully. (The lens that came with the NOS SFXn)

I actually got across to the Wairarapa on Thursday to visit my little bro near Carterton, but the weather was pretty humid and we didn't go anywhere. I picked up a D-FA 28-105 in Wellington while I was at it, and although it's effectively a kit lens for the K-1, and not quite the ideal zoom range on the K-70, having weather sealing was nice given the conditions, and it's pretty sharp on APS-C. My preference would have been a DA 16-85, but they're around 3x the price I paid for the D-FA 28-105.
I only took a handful of photos in the North Island, but took a few on the Interislander on the way back home on Sunday. My impressions; lens is sharp, quick shift is nice, but there's a little bit of CA, although probably not more than the D-FA 100mm macro, so not bad. Here's probably my best image so far. I liked how the clouds sort of mirror the outline of the islands below.
