Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax 28mm F3.5 I purchased this lens last week and have been spending a fair amount of time with it. I had been looking for this lens here in Japan where I currently live to no avail. Tried high and low but no one had it until last week when I spotted one in almost New condition in a favorite shop of mine! Bought it as fast as I could take out my credit card. I am using this lens on my GXR A12 Mount (APS-C size sensor) and spent the entire weekend shooting with it on a trip to a nearby island. I'm very impressed with how smooth the focusing is and how brilliantly this lens renders colors in general... very eye-catching. In terms of sharpness it's right up there with my Voigtlander lenses and that's saying something... I haven't noticed any distortion or CA in the images I've taken so far but will keep and eye out for them. If you are going to use this lens with a digital camera, just make sure your camera has a reliable manual focus mechanism/indicator otherwise you may not get as sharp a result as you hope to. My GXR A12 Mount has not low pass filter and has a fantastic focus peaking function that nails the focus every time. I hear Fuji also has a very nice focusing mechanism. Here are a few shots from last weekend: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/59861-camerashy/albums/7633-pentax-k-28mm-f3-5/picture67584.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/59861-camerashy/albums/7633-pentax-k-28mm-f3-5/picture67587.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/59861-camerashy/albums/7633-pentax-k-28mm-f3-5/picture67585.jpg I think you get the idea....
