I didn't believe the reviews how unique and wonderful the K series is - I should have. This lens makes outstandingly gorgeous pictures, especially when it comes to colour rendering in bokeh.
My only issue is the handling, and not for the manual focus part. While the size and weight is lovely from the carrying point of view, it's difficult to handle: it is too short to use your palm to support it, too long not to support it, the focal length (135x1.5=202) is way too prone to micro movements to get the subject out of focus wide open.
This results in a lot of images where you think you've tackled a sharp focus, but in reality, it's a teeny bit off - once you do have an actually sharp image to compare it becomes obvious.
Despite this, the lens is recommended, but either have a rock solid hand or consider a tripod. |
