Pentax smc DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM Lens

$1,430.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
just received lens and took it to a car show....met all my expectations and then some.....posted pictures on flickr next day....pentax has done a good job with this lens...will probably buy da*16-50
from www.amazon.com
while the lens is still handicapped by the general pentax slow autofocus, it's certainly faster than the previous generation lenses in my collection, with exception of the smc p-da 40mm f2.8 limited
from www.amazon.com
i am no longer afraid to take pictures in inclement weather as the lens and the pentax k10 are both moisture proof.
from www.amazon.com
pentax has produced a lens that in combination with the k20d body produces superior color/tonal balance and superior sharpness characteristics.
from www.amazon.com
it is as sharp as my smc pentax f 50mm f/1.4, from f/2.8, and a little sharper in the corners than the prime, with similar rendering.

PENTAX SMC P-DA 16-50 f/2.8 ED AL(IF)SDM

$970.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
well worth the price at full price through pentax, amazon has been giving this lens away, so even better.
from www.amazon.com
i've been using the sigma 18-50mm f2.8, and upgraded to the pentax because of the sdm, the wider wide angle, and the weather resistance, and i don't regret it.
from www.amazon.com
attached to the pentax k20d, it results in very fast and very quiet focusing, and good color and sharpness characteristics.
from www.amazon.com
the pentax da* 16-50mm is a lens that i have wanted for sometimes, but have avoided getting because of numerous comments about quality control issues in its manufacture.

Pentax 21mm F/3.2 AL Limited Lens

$534.00 Est. at Amazon

from daoswald, www.shopping.com
it's my opinion that lenses like this are why we buy pentax.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
not being a fan of zoom lenses, this lens is one of the reasons i switched to pentax.
from www.amazon.com
i just bought this lens for my pentax k10d and it is truly stellar.
from www.amazon.com
back in the '80's i owned a pentax me super and i thereafter soon bought several "m" lenses to go with it (most notably the 28mm f2.8 and the 135mm f3.5).
from www.amazon.com
combined with the pentax k10d, this is my sketchpad -- the kit i carry when i don't carry much.

from www.amazon.com
it can be used with any pentax-mount lens you put on, saving potentially huge amounts on lenses (check out others stabilized lens prices and you'll see).
from www.amazon.com
lightweight, easy to hold, and it will accept any pentax lens ever made if you don't mind manual focusing on some.
from www.amazon.com
not to brag, but a local camera shop had the kit, with the lens and k100d body not the k110d body for 399.99 regular price, minus the 100 rebate the pentax offers on their website (store had no idea)
from www.amazon.com
the only advantage the nikon may have is the availability of accesories, but pentax makes some wonderful add-ons for this camera.
from www.amazon.com
i grew up using the pentax k1000 film cameras, so it was natural for me to move up to the pentax k100d slr digital cameras.

from "Shell", www1.wolfcamera.com
this lens is light, easy to use, produces clear and crisp images and best of all it balances well with my pentax k20d, and is not too long or bulky.
from www.amazon.com
pentax has produced one fine camera in the k10d and now has coupled it with a terrific lens for both amateur and professional photographers.
from www.amazon.com
it is in practice a real one lens for everything solution for your pentax or samsung dslr.
from www.amazon.com
in the first week with my pentax k10d 10.2mp digital slr camera with shake reduction (body only) and this lens i've taken some of the most beautiful photos i've ever taken in my life!
from www.amazon.com
this appears to be a very well made lens for pentax.
