Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-Q 08 Wide Zoom 3.8-5.9mm F3.7-4 I rated Sharpness, Aberrations, Bokeh, Handling all at 8 because because those characteristics are essentially irrelevant given the sensor sizes of the Q cameras, and the small camera bodies ("Handling"?). I don't worry about any of those factors with the Q-system and this lens. But those characteristics are even more irrelevant with respect to the characteristic that matters: value. Value not in dollars, but rather in accessible ultra-wide zoom in such a ridiculously small size. In 2019, I still do not know what beats the Q-system with this and the 06 tele-zoom. As for sharpness, this lens is as good as it gets on the sensors in the Q's. Bokeh is impossible: shoot in BC mode if you need that, but, really, just bokeh in post if you need that. This lens is crazy unique, which alone makes it crazy good. |
