Title: 70-210mm f4
Post by: guest4 on July 15, 2008, 06:57:04 PM
Another new purchase, this time a Pentax A 70-210mm f4 constant aperture (http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/zooms/long/A70-210f4.html). Its at least 20 years old and is auto exposure but manual focus. A couple of 100% crops from one shot at 210mm f4...

This one is slightly out of focus cos this part of the pic was slightly out of the in focus plane but I like the fact that its picked up some what appear to be flying ants, didn't see them when I was taking the pic

Dontcha just love legacy lenses? If anyone else can think of getting a constant aperture 70-210mm image stabilised (ok, the IS is in the body) lens for £80?

Oh, and while we're here, this is the shot they were cropped from
