| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-F 17-28mm F3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye
I used a k17mmf4 for years and like a lot this fish eye lens , lot of fun , not everyday lens but unique pictures . The build is unique also
Except the build and the look, This zoom is better according to me. It handle strong light much better, Much more easy to use ( don’t have to take care of your fingers....) , A contact for dialog with the camera, more use with the range and at 17mm it’s a little wider than the K !!??. Colors great and very contrasty lens. Iq wise it’s a fish so extrem corners can’t be razor sharp but overall very good and as good if not better than the K.
Only regret is the not so close focus....
For the price I DO recommend this lens. Works well with k1. From F5,6 this lens has already good iq. A simple update with hd coating and Pentax would have a great fisheye with this one. I paid 200€ for this lens. After using it , I would accept to pay easily much more than twice that price. This old lens is still up to date /optics with k1. |
