Pros: Aesthetically beautiful, especially the "silver" version I took; impeccable construction: an aluminum jewel reminiscent of the objectives of the past, a very practical lampshed; even the package reserves a pleasant surprise with the leather-like bag that maybe we will never use but it is very nice. Of the cap (which I did not even notice) I can not care less as in front of the front lens I immediately put, as always, a UV filter. Tiny and light, mounted on the K50, for which I took it, it constitutes an agile and very compact combination.
Cons: Perhaps it is precisely the small size, which makes it a little difficult to assemble and disassemble offering a very small grip surface and then the inconvenience, which do not lose at Pentax and is one of the many incomprehensible choices, the red alignment dot for assembly (which was once even a ball, red or white , embossed and on the outside of the barrel!) well hidden on the inner face of the graft flange, difficult to detect and that forces you to rotate the lens in your hand until you spot it, a real stupidity ! The fact that, again incomprehensibly, it is not tropicalized, it has already been said.
Opinion: In addition to the two macros, it is the only fixed lens I have, since I am a convinced zoom user. It is a lens That I took especially for the K50, to be used in pairs with the 18-270, and it was a bit of a must, not offering Pentax a compact wide zoom, low cost and not fish and wanting me to be able to go below 18 mm. Here too, my opinion is in principle, not purely technical or particularly in-depth from an optical point of view but simple considerations or surveys made "de visu". The objective optically I like: it does not present particular criticalities (flare, excessive perspective deformation) and since in general such a lens is used to intermediate diaphragms, it is forgiven a very slight optical decay at the edges at full opening. The MAF is fast and does not seem particularly noisy to me (but I have used it outdoors so far); the detail offered by this lens is excellent and so the colors and ultimately, with these peculiarities, I could not ask for more. It's not particularly cheap (paid in store more than 500€!) but considering optical yield, materials and construction, all in all it can stay there. |
