| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-D FA 50mm F2.8 Macro
This lens simply does what you expect it to do. Sharp wide open, close focussing distance, quick shift. It's a pity is has no WR (put it in the wet grass...)
Compared to the 50mm f/4 M series macro, which I owned before, the 1:1 and 2.8 make a good addtion. That lens has its front element far back in the lens, which this DFA version does not have. That is an aspect I prefer from the old M. Nevertheless: I highly recommend this lens.
PS My copy does not focus at infinity. It does almost, so the pictures are sharp (hyperfocal distance), but I do not get the AF confirmation, which is annoying... |
