| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA 24-90mm F3.5-4.5 AL [IF]
A nearly ideal lens for travel -- lightweight with good range. Turns out the 36-135mm "equivalent" range on crop sensor is rather useful, especially for portraits and details. Stopped down it performs well as expected. Wide open it has that "old film look" that is just right for portraits. My hope is that Pentax will update this lens and eventually bring it back for the FF digital, as it offers something a little wider and faster than the upcoming 28-105mm.
P.S. I feel that the ratings on this (and most other websites) are somewhat exaggerated. My "7" is likely similar to someone else's "9" as I am comparing this lens to all other lenses I have ever used, including primes. |
