Pentax HD DA 55-300mm - five picks from my collection. Pentax-FA 1.8/31 Limited Pentax-FA 1.9/43 Limited Pentax-FA 1.8/77 Limited Pentax-DFA* 2.8/70-200 AW Pentax-DFA 2.8/15-30 WR A sixth. Pentax-DFA 2.8/100 Macro WR
DA*16-50/2.8 is optically inferior to Sigma 17-50/2.8 and has sudden death motor with well known ability to die. Especially those manufactured before 2012. It will be replaced by new lens that should come by 2021 as the prototype already was shown. DA12-24/4 is perfcetly built lens with plenty of resolution, unfortunately chromatic aberations are present and are visible. So since I got MUCH wider Sigma 8-16, this lens mostly remains in cabinet. HD-DFA*70-200 is just overpriced huge telephoto lens with slow focusing motor, significant focus breathing and not impressive image output when compared to other 70-200/2.8 lenses. HD-DFA150-450 is interesting and huge 3x zoom that at least has very decent image quality DA55-300 PLM only works on latest bodies so owners of cameras like K5 or K50 won't be happy with these.
Did you try any of these? 16-50 doesn't get best reviews. I love my 16-85, 55-300 PLM, 50-135 f28, 35mm limited macro, 100mm macro and 70mm f2.4 Limited. Out of these you mentioned the 55-300. Many Pentax shooters also love the 31/77 FA Ltd glass not mentioned. Good luck with the amazon links!
Zoom lenses are Pentax's 5 best lenses?! Get lost and a life!
The 16-50 unless recently redesigned while great optically has had SDM issues. After two failures I ended up converting mine to screw drive.
Pentax DA* lenses are rated to cope with rain, and so too are Pentax weather sealed bodies. NO manufacturer can match this, in fact they will claim their bodies and lenses are weather sealed, but when you read the fine print in their user manuals, they'll tell you not to use the products in rain. They even market the cameras and lenses with water on them, yet they'll tell you to get it serviced after its made contact with water. They're only humidity sealed.
Good short to the point video.
16-50mmF2.8は、新型が出るようなので期待しています。
You should have named the video to "best Pentax ZOOM Lenses in 2020" instead. As i would agree with that selection of lenses in the category of zoom lenses I would have to strongly disagree with the selection according to your video being named "best pentax lenses". We can debate about not having one of the remarkable "limited's" in here but we can not debate with not having the new starglass primes in here. When dpreview finally decided to review the new 50mm 1.4 they came to the not surprising conclusion that it is the sharpest 50mm they have ever had in testing (when it was stopped down to 2.0) and it was still on par wide open with the best competition lenses (sigma, otus) in the field. For the new 85mm 1.4 I am not sure yet but from what it looks like in sample pictures it is a beast in sharpness as well. And both lenses are designed to serve even much higher resoultions as well so we have yet to see the true potential of these gems on a possible future k1 mark III Which should also be put into heavy consideration if you buy a lens in 2020. My list would be for aps-c the 16-50mm and the 12-24mm (well chosen). Also the 70-200mm and then the new 50mm and or 85mm and also the 31mm limited maybe.
Is it Weather resistant?
Spot on
Liked for the haircut.
Hello Sean, I got an adapter, but it does not seem to work on full frame, I bought it in December 2018 and your video is pretty old. It seems to work on my EOS M3 and Old Rebel, on my 6D it looks dark at the bottom. Any help?
How about reverse situation - I need to mount Canon EF to Pentax K. Is it possible?
I have pentax k 1000 mkII camera with 55 mm lens and i want to use this lens on my canon rebel sl2 Please help me to find out cheap and good adaptor I m from india
Hi, thanks for your video. Very clear and promotes the fun to be had thrift store lens hunting too. I'm selling an ef adapted lens on ebay and wondered if you'd mind me linking your video to my current listing to provide knowledge to my buyers. I have a PK to EF mount adapter. I used it on a t2i but now I wanted to upgrade my kit to high speed af and recoup my money from my excellent Tokina PKa 60-300 lens for this project.
Guess there isn't one for canon full frame then aye
does your company make pentax adapters for nikon bodies or just canon? and also do you lose any f stops with an adapter?
Need help. I have several old lenses I used on my Pentax K1000 years Star Mc auto f=28mm 1:2.8, Tou/Five Star Mc auto MACRO zoom 75-200mm 1:4.5, Tou/Five Star 1:8 f=500mm, Pentax-M 1:2 50mm, Tiffen 2x telephoto converter 37mm, and Gemini auto 2x tele-converter. I am looking to buy a new Pentax DSLR that I can use these lenses on. I want this for vacations & shooting outdoors. Any recommendations?
Hey! I just bought a Pk-Eos mount to adapt my smc pentax-fa 28-80mm f3.5 5.6 to a Canon 60d. It doesn't work, the camera doesn't recognize the lens. It was this adaptor couldnt use it at all, got asked for firmware updates
Sean, I remain a little confused. Good video but doesn't address two issues. I have a Cannon Rebel T6. You sell two adapter rings, one with a "chip" in it one without. The info on the Fotodiox web site makes no mention of the T6 camera. It does say Rebel and that both will work on a "Rebel". I keep seeing people having to remove the electronic contacts from the adapter in order to correct some software issue. Why? And will I need to do that if I buy that version just to see if it works? And you don't address the tab sicking out on the back of the Pentax lenses at all. People are cutting them off and or bending them over. Other than experimenting and taking the chance of ruining a nice camera by the mirror striking the tab, how can one determine if one needs to tamper with the tab at all? It sure would be nice to be able to put the lens back on the Pentax body and continue to use it as intended.
I bought an adapter, the first week was fine but now my camera ask for a lens firmware update eveytime I try to use the adapter, any help with that?
Hello I have a penkax-K SMC 70-210mm Will it fit to my Nikon d3200 please?
the k mount part that sticks out on the lens interferes with the mirror on my 5d mkii and needs to be cut off
At :30 I saw the entire lens turn when you adjusted the aperture ring . why doess this happen and how does this effect the focus? Is this a flaw in the mount connecting the lens to the camera?
Hi Sean, I am now looking to get the bests Mount Adapter, M42 Lens to Pentax K Cameras and I see that Fotodiox produce one. Recommendations on most forums state the best is to use the genuine Pentax make (as there are some very cheap versions which are not good) . Can you guarantee with hionesty that your product is as good as the genuine Pentax one?
I now have all 3 Pentax S-M-C Takuma 200mm, 85mm and 28mm prime lenses using - of course - Fotodiox lens adaptors and have managed to capture some lovely images with these lenses. And +dvrapant is quite right - prices continue to rise - so I consider them and investment now. :-)
is that the 43mm fa limited?
what lens is that?
Hello, check out 'focus peaking' on your canon camera, it takes all the worry of focusing away, there's YouTube videos on the subject.
Thank you for your review of Kecay mount adapter. I'll look for one.
Nice vid.,quick questi0n though, will this work on an M42 mount lens?
Got a couple of Pentax lenses myself. They are awesome!
This was a super useful video, thank you! I have a crop sensor DSLR too and just stumbled on a dead cheap 24mm Pentax K mount lens, so I’m glad that you shared some footage where the adapter is working correctly. Great looking footage, I might just have to look for that 28mm lens too!
Fantastic! I recently got given a Canon 60D for helping a friend. I'll be getting hold of an adapter because I've just come into possession of a Pentax f1.2 50mm. If it's as fun to use on my digi camera as it is on my old Pentax I don't think I'll need another 50mm lens ever again.
great!
Nice one Stewart, lovely lenses.
StewartI am a Pentaxian,and loved this vid.I can use legacy Pentax lenses with all of my Pentax cameras,just in manual,of course So thank you for the shout-out for Pentax! But one question: What do you mean by "b-roll?" Thanks! annie
I found my dads Pentax SFX kit with additional lenses and accessories.I really hope I can find an attachment and someone to clean them because they are legit a photographers dream! There’s even a fisheye lens, tone of awesome filters.
Alright Stewart I've just purchased an automatic reverse adapter from Meike for £45 works great with my nifty fifty as it's f:1.8 aperture gives me a really bright viewfinder.
Can use it on Nikon?
I've got an old Olympus 50mm that I want to try and reverse for macro, so very interested in the next vid.
love the grade!
All Pentax lens are first class
