My first limited lens!!
5 Stars
My first limited lens!!
After reading the reviews for the non HD version, I was hoping the HD version would be even better. I can't directly compare this one with the older model but the top ratings are true. I was surprised how sharp it was at 2.4 but by F4 I was amazed. I generally shoot landscapes so I couldn't decide if i really needed this since it's more of a portrait lens. I bought it as "like new" and so it was already a good deal then Amazon had their prime sale and I couldn't resist. It arrived sealed in the original packaging so was shocked it really was more or less brand new.The bokeh is excellent, much better than any other lens in my bag. This is my first limited lens and it lives up to the hype. Colors and contrast just look different from my other lenses. As with most lenses, I would say this is sharpest from F4-F16. Beyond F16 it softens up again but nothing to complain about. You really only notice it if you look at 100%. This and the Pentax K-3 are a great combo. Would be interesting to compare the pictures to the soon to be here full frame and see if you can really see a difference. I guess I'll never know as the full frame is more than I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to lens when I need to get "the shot" - sharp and accurate. A total gem!
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018
This is the best, lightest lens to walkaround with. It's small and light, and it doesn't look like a serious lens, until you see the results. It's fantastic.
Anyone who shoots regularly with prime (single focal length) lenses knows the quality bump you get over most zooms. This is no exception.

It's super sharp wide open and at all apertures in between. In fact I use it wide open at f/2.8 nearly all the time. It's my go to lens when I need to get the shot. Fantastic.

It's so small and light, similar to other Limited lenses in the Pentax lineup. In fact, for years my whole walkaround kit consisted of the Pentax 15mm, 40mm, and 70mm Limited lenses. They are fantastic, and with one lens on the camera and two in a single pouch, I have pretty much any situation covered. HIGHLY recommend them for any Pentax user.

I owned the original (non-HD) version of this lens since 2007. It failed (stopped autofocusing) last year and I *had* to get this. This newer HD version has smoother bokeh, otherwise is exactly the same as the original. Small and lightweight, it's a wonderful little gem of a lens.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2022
I have owned this lens for a couple of years. It was first on my K3 and now used on my K3iii. I originally bought for some portrait work and thought that was all I would use it for, it equates to 108mm on the K3. It was pointed out to me that this lens is also great for landscape so I gave it a try and it is breathtaking. Sharp doesn't come in to it, it is also tiny so it fits in a pocket as a standby now as a regular addition.
