Latest Review Posted | HD Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 Limited Macro Second lens review, please go easy on me! At the time of this review I have the K-50 body with the following lenses: 18-55 WR, 50-200 WR, 35/2.8 LTD, 50/1.8, and 55-300 WR.
I bought this lens as a wider framed walk around to complement my 50mm. I probably could have gone wider, but I wanted the macro abilities as well. I've had the lens for a few months and find it to be a very sharp lens, and I've been enjoying the macro pictures I've gotten with it, it's super fun to use that way. I'm found that I'm just not a huge fan of this focal length and I end up using this lens the least of my lenses. I would likely use it more if it were a bit faster, but it's hard to use indoors on people without an external flash. I just haven't found a reason to use this lens very much because I haven't been in an opportunity to use it as such. Perhaps I like the further background separation of the 50mm focal length more.
It's a damn good lens, I'm just not used to it yet, it's something I need to exclusively use for a bit I'm thinking.
