: How good or bad?
Hi,
well, my remark was addressed to cheap 3rd party lenses vs. Pentax ones.
I don't count all of 3rd party products bad (having couple of Sigmas
myself and pretty happy with 'em), but my experience shows that Pentax
lenses have been generally better. Coatings, build quality, feel
Hi,
lurkin' around in komkon.org pages I found SMC F 35-70 /4-5.6 lens
tested... However, I don't see such a lens in Bojdar Dimitrov pages. Is
this lens something very uncommon or just an error?

Hi,
lately I purchased P30t and as it come without lens, decided also to buy
some cheap MF zoom. Made some e**ying and today SMC Pentax-A 35-80
1:4-5.6 arriived. OK, understandible, it is pretty dark compared to my
loved AF primes like FA 50/1.4 or 28/2.8 and I do not expect any equal
quality
it's quite compact / light and SMC Pentax lens after all, not some Sigma
or Tokina, right?

Meanwhile I've played with my new toy and I quite like the feel how it
handles. From your photos I see, that it's also quite good performer. At
least in right hands :)

I'm not sure that my hands are the right hands, but the results I've
gotten from the lens have certainly impressed me. :-)
For a while, I made a small carry kit out of a P30T, A50/1.7, and the
A35-80/4-5.6, and an A80-200/4.7-5.6. Not the fastest of lenses, but
nice and light and portable. If I
I'll second that, Fred. I bought the Pentax-A 35-70 f4 for use on my
LX, and it is a really nice piece of workmanship, although a bit heavy
(balances fine though). Takes sharp photos and the macro is pretty
good too - I think it goes down almost to 2:1.

Thank you!
It was one of the first serious shots I ever took, and I really didn't
know much about what I was doing. I guess sometimes you just get it
right. :-)
