Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA* 600mm F4 ED [IF] This lens is a pain for you back until its placed on a steady tripod, and dont even think about handhelding this beast :hmm:
On the tripod the lens i a litte bit soft wide open, but sharp from f 5.6. The AF speed is fast, but a bit noisy on the K20D.
The IQ with 1.4TC is acceptable when stopped down, but not so good with the Pentax 1.7AF adapter.
I use the lens with a Gitzo GT5530S tripod and a Wimberley Head W2 or Acra Swiss Z1, with good result. |
