Checking in with the SMC 120mm f2.8. A great lens! My copy is a little soft at 2.8, but stopped down a click or two and it sharpens up nicely.

If I were into portraits, I would keep this lens on my camera all the time. MFD is pretty nice, and the smooth focus of the SMC lenses is as expected.

Decided on the K Series 120mm f2.8. I've used it once or twice, but needed something longish for a change.

2nd month in a row with the 24mm. I still like the lens, but need to move on and with other focal lengths.

In again. I think I need to set the 24mm aside for now and go with something else. Lens TBD

The 24mm is still working for me. Lots of indoor projects for subjects right now.

January with the K-24mm f2.8...

A solid build and smooth focus, just like other manual Pentax glass [check]. Close focus of just under 1 foot [check]. Sharp even at f2.8 [check]. It checked all my boxes, and was just fun to use.

Still hanging in there with the SMC 24mm. The lens is performing better than I remember :)

That is what I was thinking. 24mm for 2024. I'll start Jan 1 with the 24, and by the end of the month if I am pulling my hair out, I can move on to another lens.:lol:

If I find a deal on the SMC 24 f3.5, or a TAK 24 3.5 I might sprinkle those in too.

I'm in for January. I need to decide between the DFA 100, or SMC 24 f2.8.
If I could pull it off maybe the 24mm for 2024.

I'm feeling about the same. I'm misses yesterday, and didn't want to throw up another safety today.

I have the rest of the year off, so maybe I can get a couple keepers to post.

I use this model from Amazon:

Fits my K-1 with the DFA 28-105 attached, cheap too.
