Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-A 400mm F5.6 I always wanted this lens. I got it on E-Bay.
Lens came with carrying case. It is built solid. Good old Pentax metal body lens..built to last.
It is light enough for handheld shooting. That was the main reason I bought it. I have much larger
SMC 500mm f/4.5 and that one require tripod. With this SMC A 400mm f/5.6 I have more freedom to
walk around and shoot. Image quality is very very good. Better than I expected. It is a "A" lens, so shooting is pretty simple , especially in TAV mode (Aperture and Speed priority). All you have to do is focus.
Focusing ring is silky smooth. I just love older Pentax lenses.
I highly recommend this lens for someone looking for a nice prime lens with decent range and don't mind manual focus.
Here are some samples.
