Pros: mechanical construction, minimum weight and size, clarity, flare resistance, low distortion on the right

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Used only on the right is my favorite optics on K5. superb optical rendering with full colors and well-managed contrasts. It is very very clear. Despite the age does not suffer on apsc of any particular aberration. Just closing the diaphragm is clear from one meter to infinity on apsc thanks to the hyperfocal due to the focal length. this is a nice advantage of apsc because we have the hyperfocal of a 20 mm Ff with the focal equivalent of a 30. Being a lens that is the excellent condition at about 100 euros I would say that is a great purchase and thanks to the ring of the diafrmmi present also allows a mirrorless use also FF.

Pros: Small and lightweight, rugged construction, the complete absence of fraying

Cons: A bit 'dark, completely manual, color rendering a bit' cold

Opinion: Despite having 40 years is a perspective that still behaves well with the sensor, rather demanding, riding K-3. E 'completely manual and completely devoid of electrical contacts, so exposure should be calculated, because the camera does not know which diaphragm is set. Like all the objectives of the past, is of robust construction and diaphragms are marked with a "click" that leaves no doubt. It is not very bright, which may be a limit in some case, however, the 20 mm focal length ensures a good margin with the safety times. At the maximum aperture the sharpness falls a bit 'on the edge, but just close to f / 5.6, and the problem is resolved great. Only the colors are not that great. Unlike big brother 28mm f / 2.8, this has made it a bit 'chilly and certain shots need to "warm them" a bit' in PP. It is online or at flea markets for a few tens of euros, and it may be worth it.

Pros: Sharpness, resistance to flare, size, weight, construction

Cons: Opening f4, it is completely manual

Opinion: I bought this lens now a year ago after reading the great reviews and viewed some samples.rnNe I was impressed by the extreme sharpness, for the full and saturated colors and the amazing resistance to flare! RNE really small, mounted on reflex makes it compact and easy to handle, when I travel I just can not staccarlo.rnSebbene manual is its perfect construction makes it extremely easy to use!
