| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-M 150mm F3.5
Bought this lens off ebay two weeks ago and all I can say is wow. Wide open this lens is amazing, the bokeh is just super smooth. Took it on its first job two days ago and no problems whatsoever. Focusing was silky smooth, aperture ring snappy and the elements were clean but the results were just superb. It made me contemplate, why would I spend hundreds to buy an automatic lens with more glass elements and more CA coating etc when I can spend 50 bucks and get old school lenses which can be used professionally once they are in great condition.
The Pentax M 135mm f3.5 is a must get and if you don't have one, you really don't know what you're missing out on. Manual lenses are a joy, and manual focus is something that shouldn't be seen as burden, besides focus confirmation is available (on my Pentax K5 ii) and once it confirms that it's in focus. trust me, it is. |
