| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax 135mm F2.5
I picked this lens mostly when I want to use a 135mm. When reviewers says this lens gives the 'pop' or 3D effect, what reference and comparison are they referring to? To a crazy prized zeiss or a 3rd party lens? I don't print my photos(99% usuall), my dslr is a humble k-x, my best critic is my wife who seriously cannot read without glasses.
We all know that manual focusing on original or unchanged viewfinder(screen) can be a real pain when it comes with low light and in those difficult moments: we have no control of the environment and moments happen to us at no choice. For a not so pro photographer and camera, this lens became a real star and rescuer.
I own a RMC Tokina 135mm f2.8 k mount, it produces pretty good and sharp pics. EBC Fujinon T 135mm f2.5 m42 is another stunner, sharp sharp sharp and beautiful color rendition and absolute treasure. But with the age of photoshop, what cannot be done? I know almost but not all ;-).
I don't like to buy too many m42 to pk adapters and I do have quite a fair amount of m42 lenses and i belong to the not-so-rich class. I favor the convenience of just 'fit, twist, fix'. I picked this Pentax lens mostly - You might encounter situations when you have 2 m42s with only 1 adapter and 1 pk lens out in the field, because you love primes and you want to switch lenses when situation demands that. I wondered sometimes 'what the *f-stop* am i doing?' And 'will i become a pro just because of these great primes?' :-D
