| | Looks like a pretty good lens, especially for that time. I bought it second hand around 7y ago when i bought my first Pentax, a KX with 18-55, and cannot afford an AF prime lens at that time... i used rarely for a couple of portraits and deposit on a box... today i found it and i said to myself... 'uhhh... let's see what this lens can do on my k3'. Pretty nice details. I used the 'catch in focus' function. | |
