| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye ED [IF]
This is one of the more interesting lenses I own. As popular as it is, I feel it's very underrated. The distortion at 10mm is something to behold, while at 17mm there's not very much at all. This lens is usually thought of as a gimmick lens, but it is surprisingly sharp throughout its range and delivers outstanding IQ. The only real drawback to this lens is the gobs of PF it delivers at wide apertures. Keep it at F8 and you'll be fine. The 10-17 also focuses very closely but without magnification, allowing you to accentuate the foreground while still yielding amazing DOF. Makes for some interesting framing.
A lens that is a lot more versatile than it's given credit for... |
