| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-M 200mm F4
Bought this lens on eBay with a light fungus infestation on the rear element. Strangely, on the outside of the rear element. Cleaned without a trace. I've must have cleaned or repaired a hundred lenses, this was the first time I saw a fungus on the outside of the rear element. Special from the start. Back to he review.
I found it to be very easy lens for manual focusing, maybe the easiest from all the lenses I own. I was able to take pictures of swifts and swallows flying low in the garden. It produces lovely colors, even on a grey day, and I find it to be sharp enough for wildlife photography, acceptable even wide open. More tests in the days that come will show me more but for this price, there is not much negative I could say.
I definitely recommend this lens, especially for beginners with manual focusing. |
