| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-A 135mm F2.8
Can I shed a little light on this? The lens was given a real stinker of a review on the now moribund (ie not updated) website http://stans-photography.info which has lengthy reviews and commentary on most of the Pentax lenses of yesteryear. I suspect that is the source of much of the low opinion/esteem in which it is held. I passed-up on buying one several times - though the prices were very reasonable - because of these comments, and I bought the K series SMC 135mm f2.5 instead, although heavier, older, and non-A. This lens (the one I bought) really is tack sharp and has given me some wonderful shots wide open. But maybe I will pick up an A2.8 if I see one now, given the positive comments here. It will have its uses! |
