Pros: three-dimensionality, blurred, construction, lightness, dimensions

Cons: some AC in strong contrast, for purists AF a bit noisy

Opinion: I have owned it for about a month after having long wanted it, I took few photos in the field but many tests in the house and garden and I feel like doing a first analysis. The three-dimensionality is already good at f1.8 but at f4 it is excellent, the AF has always hooked well (static subjects), for the AC I deliberately tried to photograph in very strong contrast. These are my observations: a whole photo is not noticeable but enlarging a lot, appear at f1.8 and f2.5 and disappear at f4 for the blurred depends a lot on the background (this is already known) but above all from the distance from the subject. In my opinion you should not exceed 3/4 meters otherwise a little distorts the lens Use the aperture ring is not easy, you need to put the camera in M, the desired aperture and press the green button of the exposure reading, focus and then shoot, in short, a job. But it is the Limited impeccable construction, all aluminum also the integrated hood, the ring of the MF is a pleasure to use and then it is nice only to have, indeed I would not exaggerate but it is the most beautiful fixed (among the Japanese) on the market For now it is all a greeting to the Pentaxians and also not ....

The three-dimensionality is already good at f1.8 but at f4 it is excellent, the AF has always hooked well (static subjects), for the AC I deliberately tried to photograph in very strong contrast. These are my observations: in full photo they are not noticeable but enlarging a lot, they appear at f1.8 and f2.5 and disappear at f4 for the blurred depends a lot on the background (this is already known) but above all on the distance from the subject. In my opinion you should not exceed 3/4 meters otherwise a little distorts the lens Using the diaphragm ring is not easy, you need to put the camera in M, the desired diagram and press the green button of the exposure reading, focus and then shoot, in short, a job. But it is the Limited impeccable construction, all aluminum even the integrated hood, the MF bezel is a pleasure to use and then it is nice only to have, indeed I would not want to exaggerate but it is the most beautiful fixed (among the Japanese) on the market For now it is all a greeting to the pentaxians and also not ....

Pros: It is a Limited, or rather the Limited, which I tell you deal ..

Cons: not having it

Opinion: It came to me today, I didn't even take a picture. Since there were topics that criticized those who wrote reviews without even having used lenses or cameras, I easily resisted using it before writing specifically (without putting the vote though). Those interested in a complete review and know the differences with FA 77 can read here, where there are also field tests: https://www.pentaxforums.com/articles/review-news/comparison-review-of-the-new-hd-fa-limited-lenses.html To those who already have a limited and know the characteristics of these lenses, can not read here only if they do not want to buy it, otherwise it could only raise the desire. https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/limited_lens/fa_limited/ Otherwise what matters how it works.. it's nice even just to put in the window. Two hundred and seventy grams of heavy metal. As soon as I try it on analog I will add something. For the photos instead they will follow when there will be an opportunity, but do you really also care about the photos?
