Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA* 24mm F2 AL [IF] I had a great opportunity to buy this lens NOS and after reading some ambiguous reviews I almost didn't do it. I bought it after all, and it was a great decision, this is by far my best lens.
AF is very very fast and accurate with my k5, manual/af ring is also very useful.
The lens is sharp and with great contrast at all appertures, corners are great from 2.4 and best at 6.7. At f2 its very also very sharp, even in full format on my LX.
I use it for architecture photos and now it is my most used lens. I would recommend it to anyone. Maybe there are some bad copies around, photozone might had a bad one also.
Construction is FA*, like FA*85. All metal, solid, professional, tight construction. |
