Latest Review Posted	HD Pentax-D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/45616/large/1_HGK11829-9.jpg Was not immediately impressed by this lens when I first bought it......had no wild expectations. i was looking for something to cover the wide end at fullframe (around 28mm) and went with this because it could also give me some flexibility and was weather sealed. My first positive impression of this lens came when I took a picture on the beach shooting straight into the sun, there was no expected lens flare (angle may have had something to do with it because I have since had some flare in other pics). Second positive impression came last night when I was shooting an event indoors and couldnt use my flash. I wanted to keep shutter speed high and use the lowest permitted ISO so I shot wide open at 73mm - focus was spot on and I had good working depth of field to allow my subject to be completely in focus nose to ear. I had to make some adjustments to my shooting style. I like to shoot with spot focusing but found that the 9 point focus works better. Still allows me to concentrate my focus on a specific partof the subject but allows the camera more information to evaluate focusing range. Color is excellent. I could still easily tell however which pics were shot with the 77mm 1.8 I also used - only because the 77 has this unique signature, but I sholudn't have even bothered to change lens. The 18-105 results were more than satisfactory.
