Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL [IF] I can't add any unique insights about this lens. It is one of my favorites due to its color rendition and overall sharpness. I have found that clear skies look like I have used a polarizer, which of course would not be wise at its extreme wide angle range.
The build quality is top notch. In fact, if it were weather resistant, I would say it should be part of the DA* line of Pentax lenses. Its that good.
Any distortions or CA is quickly removed with the lens profile in Lightroom. My only wish is that the autofocus was a little better in single shot mode. If I put the K10D in continuous AF, I get quicker focus lock. Maybe it will be better on the K3 that should arrive tomorrow. :D |
