Pros:Optical quality also at t.a. the proverbial construction and pentax robustness of the past
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:Used for years the k version, often and willingly full aperture for astronomical photography on the occasion of the passage of comets in 1996/97 (yakoutake and hale bopp), ideal for those looking for fabulous blurs etc. The quality is better than many other brands more noble It goes without saying that it should be used on a body with a slide equipped with microprisms and / or stigmometer otherwise on a body that is devoid of it in added to the ridiculous magnification of which the autofocus are equipped the m a f will be, if not a delirium, very annoying
Pros:Bright, robust, crisp (if closed), blurred by a dream
Cons:Tough focus on ta, chromatic aberrations evident on the strong contrasts
Opinion:One of those goals, at its time, was the non-plus-ultra of Pentax production (and not only). It now appreciates the rock and metal rock construction as well as the fluid and fluid iris and diaphragms precise. Great brightness comes in handy when there is little light and allows you to shoot without lifting too high ISO eaf / 1.2 gives you a dreamy blur with a detachment of plans that few modern lenses can give you.rnA large aperture presents the account below Form of longitudinal chromatic aberrations very evident in high contrast areas, a sign that reveals the age of the project and the treatment of rather dated lenses. In these situations, it is better to diaphragm a bit or convert to Juvenile, because they are not easy to correct. Also af / 1.2 the depth of field, especially in portraits, is very small, and focussing (manually, obviously) the desired point is titanic if you have no experience. The ring is precise, but the live-view or an enlarged eyepieceRe are pretty useful.rn But it closes af / 4 everything goes in, and f / 5.6 has a sharpness, even at the corners, unthinkable for a glimpse of 40 years ago. It also does not suffer much from the flare, even though a hood is in need of it. This small gem is not easy to find online and almost impossible in the markets, because one who holds one is tight and sells it at a fair price, but it's worth it.
