| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-A 645 35mm F3.5
This lens is one of the best lenses I have ever used. It makes wonderful images, It will out resolve any DSLR sensor I have ever owned. At f3.5 the bokeh is very nice, soft and oof objects are round not like a stop sign. Wide open the focused portion of an image is very sharp with great contrast. With the use of the hyperfocal markings it will insure you know what will be sharp, it's a film thing baby. No chimping on a 645:lol:
I use it on a 645 film camera and with an adapter on a Canon 7D, has a 56mm fov on a 7d so it is a nice portrait lens for those who like lots of negative space. I give it a 10, it is the best lens I own. I have several primes 28, 50, 75, 200, just something about this 35 that sets it self apart.
The prices in 2011 at Keh are $800+ I have to say the emergence of the 645D has run the cost of all the wide 645 glass through the roof! Sad because everyone should have one of these. |
