| Latest Review Posted | HD Pentax-DA 20-40mm F2.8-4 Limited DC WR
Odd focal range, variable from 2.8 to 4.0, DC motor, and weather sealed at a big price premium. Not your typical Pentax Limited lens. It's been awhile now and the prices of this lens has dropped in half for a new one. I took the plunge and now it's my walk around for what I shoot along with my Limited FA77 in my pocket. I can say that this is a great lens IF you need or want this focal range as it's not for everyone. I'm mainly a prime shooter. Never have really cared much for zooms simply because it makes me a lazy photographer. Only zoom in my kit is the 18-55 kit lens which doesn't ever get usage if at all.
Bokeh for this type of lens is great. I never expected my FA77 limited bokeh as you shouldn't either. Very sharp lens and perfect compliment on my K3 and my K-x. Right at the same size length as the 18-55 DAL kit lens, but just a little thicker. Actually about half an inch shorter than the 18-55 DAL if you use a hood lens on the 18-55. If you've been wanting this lens...get one. I got it for under $500 from Amazon, but it has now since gone up some. It's still a great deal for what you get. You won't regret it. I had a Limited 21 but sold it for this and have zero regrets.
Only real con is the focal length. You should already know if it's gonna work for you. Otherwise you won't be happy with it. I love this lens. |
