Latest Review Posted SMC Pentax-FA 28-200mm F3.8-5.6 AL [IF]
I own the silver Pentax K-5 and wanted a nice walk around zoom with far reach . I also wanted it to match my silver body. This seems to work out perfectly. It feels real solid, the thick rubber grips are nice and has a nice lens hood. It does however do some focus dancing from time to time. I bought this lens for $75 which is great for this type of range. choosing this or the DA 18-135mm WR I would have to say if you don't need the WR and are on a budget this lens is the best. One thing i have to note is that I do beleive this is actually a Tamron lens branded for Pentax. Perhaps Pentax contracted Tamron to make their cheaper lenses at that time. but anyway you can find a Tamron lens with these exact same specs just with a slightly different tread on the zoom grip and different colored numbering on the focus grip. The lens cap is the signature Tamron lens cap but with the word Pentax instead. All in all it's a great lens to have when you need zoom.
