Its bright aperture for a 90mm lens makes for faster shutter speeds in dim light—great for street shooting and much more. Focusing ring could be made with a tad more grippable material.
All-metal construction, engraved markings, and excellent optics. Ultra-compact, it’s perfect for travelers. The close-focusing distance of 7.25 inches and magnification of 1:5.7 promise great vacation close-ups.
All-metal barrel and lensmount, wide aperture, and excellent SQF deem this lens pro-ready without the pro price. Close-focusing distance of 6.7 inches and magnification of 1:4.6 reinforce the claim.
A weather-resistant wonder with a tough all metal body (including the lenshood), and 1:0.94 magnification. Excellent sharpness with smooth manual focusing, but a slightly whiny AF.
Like all Pentax Limited series lenses, it has a rugged, all-aluminum construction with engraved barrel markings. Also nice: a built-in lenshood. Maximum magnification: 1:0.92.
Its SQF tests were excellent, and distortion and macro performance very strong. Vignetting, not so much. It has an unusual lens shade with a window to let you poke a finger in to adjust a filter.
