Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA 645 45mm F2.8 This review is based on me shooting 3 rolls with this lens.
On one Kodak 100G slide I tried autumn landscapes and some back-lighting. Not impressed due to flare. The sharpness is not there. It barely compares with a 35mm lens for your typical landscapes.
I then used it on two Kodak Portra 120 rolls, a 400NC and 800, shooting portraits and lifestyle, both indoors and outdoors in dim light. What a difference! The combination is just amazing. Most of the shooting was around F4.
The other 645 lens I have to compare it with is the FA 75mm F2.8 which while definitely sharper not as fun in terms of focal length. |
