Title: 200mm f/4
Post by: guest4 on September 16, 2008, 02:08:29 PM
Just picked up a Pentax K series 200mm f/4 prime. Had a metal lens hood included. Not bad for £28. I'm getting well into these Pentax vintage lenses, you can pick em up for a song, they take lovely pics and of course in body shake reduction helps.

Not making any claims for the composition or whatever but the lens is wonderfully clear and sharp, with good contrast and nice bokeh. Result!  :D
