Latest Review Posted	Sigma PANTEL 135mm F2.8 I picked this up on the bay for $50.00. I was looking for another 135mm since my 2 Pentax 135s don't reach inifinity focus/are very soft. this one was virtually brand new everything was included in the box including Caldor's (who besides me remembers that shop?) sales stickers. I finally had a chance to use this and I have to say I'm impressed with it. First and foremost, this thing is built like a tank. It's all metal and feels like it could break a toe if you drop it on one. 2nd the focus ring is smooth as butter although it has a long throw/turning for full range. I didn't get a chance to fully test it out (I.E. all the apertures including the f/64) but what I did I liked. I still have to get used to using a manual lens again. The image is sharp and renders great colors, and the bokeh at F/2.8 is magnificent. Just a few shots from a recent trip to the zoo. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/108602-craigbob/albums/14736-san-antonio-zoo/picture146921.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/108602-craigbob/albums/14736-san-antonio-zoo/picture146922.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/108602-craigbob/albums/14736-san-antonio-zoo/picture146923.jpg
