I've got this lens on eBay a few years ago (it didn't cost much) and have used it with Pentax K10D and Pentax K20D..it makes absolutely wonderful portraits that is my priority..I have been using it also for shooting school in events of my kids, like on stage activities (dancing, singing) with colourful and bright lights, from the last row, where we got our seats..it has been always a perfect distance to frame the kids on stage. And the best result I was getting using a CP filter to control the stage lights.
The following links direct to my Flickr stream for a few examples..
The portrait of my youngest daughter, a max distance allowed was by the room was about 3 metres and this is the max framing part possible..the light was a night light in kids room: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2968674181_cf8d4a3a09_o.jpg
Another examples are from a concert of kids:
A set in Flickr, Pentax K20D, the last row seat: http://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalgal/sets/72157624221472160/with/4678149602/
A set in Flickr, Pentax K10D, the seat was closer to stage, almost too close: http://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalgal/sets/72157620687383958/with/3668543525/
CP filter has been of big help for an exposure for bright contrast due to bright lights and contrasting cloth colors. I have been quite happy with a result..
I have no examples for outdoor shots on Flickr, they are somewhere in archive. Great value for the money is my conclusion, since I cannot afford a quality AF lens... |
