| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA 77mm F1.8 Limited
I have been looking for a portrait lens for aps-c for some time and tried a number of different approaches - Pentax DFA 50mm 1.8, Porst 55mm 1.2, Tokina atx 90mm macro, Helios 77m, but nothing comes close to what I'm getting out of this lens. There is just a certain extra bit of life that comes out of each picture. My keeper rate is higher than my skill level, which is how I can tell a great lens. The following shots look best opened in flickr with something equivalent to an ipad screen resolution but you sort of get the idea. All were done with natural light, no reflectors, and ISO 200
1.8
