Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL [IF] I would rate this lnes very high in it's class. I have a Tamron 10-24mm and the Pentax totally out shines the Tamron. The difference is very noticeable. I used the Pentax 12-24 mm for architectural photography while my Tamron was in for repair under warranty. The true F4 aperture is very nice to use throughout and does seem to be nicer than a shifting aperture. I was real happy using this lens. I used it on three jobs taking about 1500 shots with it. It helps that it was on an K-5 IIs. The sharpness from center out is very good and noticeably sharper than the Tamron. The Tamron is real soft on the edges. The Tamron is nice for the money but if you can afford it, buy the Pentax and you won't wish your Tamron could do more. The Pentax 12-24 mm all around delivers very good pictures and the pictures are not just sharp but very good in all aspects. it is a pleasure to use and my confidence grew the more I used it. The following photos were shot in RAW and sharpened in PP after they were cropped to the smaller size. If their original high resolution size, they did not need any sharpening. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38424-racerdew/albums/5736-architectural/picture60312.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38424-racerdew/albums/5736-architectural/picture60314.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38424-racerdew/albums/5736-architectural/picture. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38424-racerdew/albums/5736-architectural/picture60313.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=573...
