Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA* 28-70mm F2.8 AL I´m in Colombia (South America) and ther is not representation from Pentax Here, I was using Canon products since 8 years ago, but I found this lens in a second hand photo store, it called me, like telling me: "buy me", and I did it, immediate I found a Brand new K20D for a great price of an importer in the airport, and I made the best decision in my photographic life. This lens is so important to me, because it allowed me to change to a brand that feels just like mine, I don´t know if its better than others, it just make sense for me, for my needs and it puts a lot of spicy in my life, I wake up again for my love to photography, and realized that I was so bored about canon .
Well this is a Review of the lens. First I had a problem with autofocus, It was very inaccurate, until I found the AF adjust. Needs -10 and ready to rock, is soft wide open, sometimes more than others, but when is necessary y use it wide open (specially in Weddings). from f:4 is much better, I have´nt. used more than that. Power zoom helps sometimes but drains out the battery quickly.
Its heavy, After 8 hour of hard work in A wedding, It really feels it, but I´m used to it..
I already have 3 Pictures published in Pentax gallery with that lens as Juan Roldan Photography
Some more examples, they are all wide open.
