Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-A 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 This was an ebay purchase for me and I use it on a Samsung GX10 which is my "spare body" I keep at the office (I use a K10D mostly but the cameras are identical anyway). It's a weird thing to use with its small push/pull zoom and focus ring - particularly unfashionable and especially odd to use on such a small lens. But that's part of the appeal too. There's something nice and old-school about this, and it's lovely and small with a very useful range that's great for social gatherings - and it's faster than the kit lens by one stop at its longer end. They call it a "macro" but in reality although it focuses quite close it's hardly a macro - maybe 10:1 or something at best! As a bit of fun I would give this lens a thumbs up as a holiday/party/fun lens - and I second everything in the previous review about pleasing colour and "vinyl versus CD" feel!!!!
