Pentax HD 70mm 1:2,4 DA Limited schwarz

Ive had this lens for a long time, and its my main concert photo lens. Image quality is excellent, from sharpness to bokeh to contrast and color. Its unobtrusive, easy to move around, and the perfect focal length for portraits from a medium distance. Ive also used it for other applications such as telephoto landscapes, its easy to have in the bag thanks to its small size.

I've owned many Pentax prime lenses, going back to the FA28, FA50, FA135, and in the limited series, the FA31, FA43, FA77, DA21, and DA35. I currently own the DA15, DA40 and this DA70. This lens, the DA 70 is the sharpest of them all. I have also owned a Leica Summicron 50mm F2 and I think this DA70 is as good as the Leica in image quality. At least to the naked eye. Put 'em under a microscope and you may find the summicron is a bit better but for value for the money buy Pentax. In fact it is this limited series of lenses that has me buying Pentax cameras.

Mein Lieblingsobjektiv war früher das Takumar 1:2,8 / 105 mm. Das 70 mm kommt über den Crop Faktor aufs Gleiche raus. Es ist schon fast egal worauf man so ein Objektiv hält, da ist schon der Blick durch den Sucher ein Erlebnis. Freistellen, Schärfe, Lichtstärke, Ausschnitt, Haptik, Filtergröße - die ist übrigens identisch mit dem Takumar und praktischerweise den meisten, überragend guten Objektiven von Pentax

Could not be happier with any aspect of this lens. Pentax Unlimited lens are great quality and have been compared to other prime lenses ten times the price. The image quality is superior to anything else in the price range! My kit includes a 15mm, a 35mm and a 70mm Pentax Unlimited lenses and one 50-300mm zoom I now very seldom use. If you have no problem letting your legs do the work of a zoom, you can have images of amazing quality with the Pentax Unlimited series of lenses.

Positive: Durable construction, Small, Quick autofocus, HD, Colors convey, Sharp, Low chromatic aberration. Negative: No WR This is my favorite lens :)
