I´ve tried it on K-3 and at least in that format it is great. «Kenspo» on Pentaxforums is almost a neighbour and he loves it for rock conserts and models. Very good flare control and sharpness. We will see soon if it is works on K-1 he claims to be the first to get one (or two). DagT > 19.

I'm fine with SDM, and I wouldn't want Pentax to change the label just to trick people into thinking they changed the technology. I have four SDM lenses and haven't had a problem in years. I do think they made some changes following a rash of early problems, Paul via phone > On Feb 20, 2016,

Yep, that has to be correct. It looks like the Tamron, and it's priced about the same. Works for me. Paul via phone Paul via phone > On Feb 19, 2016, at 5:53 PM, John wrote: > > According to the reviews I've seen on line, it's a re-badged Tamron lens. > >> On
