Latest Review Posted | HD Pentax-D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR The foundation of my system, this lens is almost annoyingly good. I have the 77mm and 43mm Limiteds (and love them), but they rarely knock this lens off my mount.
It's wonderfully sharp for a zoom. I can carry it around all day; it's perfect for travel and hiking. I can use it to shoot landscapes or flowers or cats. It may not have the artistically sublime bokeh and color rendition of the Limiteds, but it still performs nicely in those regards while autofocusing and handling flare/aberrations a bit more adeptly. Obviously not as capable in low-light as the f/2.8 zooms.
If you are getting a K1, start with this. It really is the perfect walk-around lens. |
