This is my first DA prime lens, and I can't speak enough of this lens in the last month or so I have purchased this. First of all, I can get closer to subjects for a more dramatic composition.

Sharpness, contrast and vivid colors; Very versatile and great walkaround

Great Lens. I am still getting use to it, I have only had baseline lenses before...it is suprisingly heavy and I need to get use to the weight. Takes Amazing Pictures!!! I can't state this enough.

first class lens great performance brilliant colour

I lifted the title of this review ("An Optical Paragon") from a review of the same lens by Michael Johnston (The Online Photographer), and I wholeheartedly agree with him. Not only is the Pentax 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited extremely well designed and built (very compact, all metal body, quick-shift...

By varying pathways, my friend Carl Weese and I both found ourselves photographing with new Pentax K20D 's and one particular lens, the then-brand-new SMC Pentax DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited.
