Pros: Three-dimensionality, colors, contrast, sharpness

Cons: Maximum performance is at F/5.6

Opinion: An exceptional lens with an impressive three-dimensionality excellent colors high contrast and absolute sharpness on the entire frame at F/5.6 , but already acceptable on the edges even at F/2. The most impressive thing is his ability to render the volumes painted by light with an amazing realism and depth. This gives it a plasticity of the image that goes beyond any consideration on its sharpness on its resolution on its contrast and other parameters to which we are usually accustomed to give absolute importance. In short, one of those cases where an optics in addition to its measurable technical characteristics, looking at the images it produces you can not fail to notice the famous "pixie dust" of which some optics are incomprehensibly equipped.

Pros: Building a true star, excellent risolvenza and three-dimensionality 'of the image, resistance to flare and stunning maximum aperture of f2

Cons: The weight

Opinion: The FA * 24 f.2-if and to the 'lens Pentax somewhat controversial at home ... personally I feel beautiful, and to f.2' can be used with good results but f.4 on it is really good .. . f.8 and to 'a knife. Convenient and amazing af internal resistance to flare. And 'now out of production for a few years but is on the used market at about 400-500 Euro.
