I use this lens mainly for landscapes. In the old days, this lens would be advertised as having macro capability. I can focus very closely. This is a very nice lens and it is a pleasure to use yielding very high quality photos.
| | SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 Review |
I love this lens. I have several lenses that should be more sharp. However, this is very often difficult to detect without careful study. I think every Pentax owner needs one of these or one of its variants. My model doesn't have WR. That is the only thing lacking in this lens.
| | SMC Pentax-M 100mm F2.8 Review |
I have tried a few of the short M-series teles, including this lens, the M120/2.8 and the M135/3.5. In my experience this one is easily the best, particularly on full frame. It is surprisingly sharp across the frame when wide open, and becomes extremely sharp stopped down. It is very resistant to ...

| | SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.7 Review |
An excellent lens, which performs brilliantly as a 'nifty-fifty' on my K-1 and as a short, portrait, telephoto on my K-3.
Compact and well-made it is a delight to use on the move; more frequently adorning my K-1 than the capable, but heavy, Samyang 50mm f1.4 which I specifically bought for the K-...
| | SMC Pentax-A* 135mm F1.8 Review |
Well, I've had about a month with this lens now. It didn't focus to infinity and appears to have the start of some balsam separation. I Have since dealt with the infinity issue, and am ignoring the Issues inside. I haven't been able to identify any evidence of separation in any of the photos I have ...
| | SMC Pentax-A* 200mm F4 Macro Review |
Great lens that at an age of almost 40 years still produces magnificent photo’s. The lens is build like a tank. Only negatives are the annoying knob on the right side (to which you get used) and the fact it has no internal focus (which is my personal preference). The 200mm range is a real bonus with...

My 'walkabout' lens for my K-3, on which it represents the full-frame equivalent of approx. 31.5mm.
Very sharp with nice colour rendition.

| | SMC Takumar 6x7 90mm F2.8 Leaf Shutter Review |
Good workhorse lens for studio flash work and outdoor fill-in flash. A lens I've used a lot in the past, for glamour work and boudoir portraits. Makes up one half of a very useful combination, with the 165mm f2.8 L/S, for such purposes. Like the 165 L/S, the mechanics of it's use soon become second ...
