Pentax smc FA 77 mm f/1.8 Limited

 

Pentax has undoubtedly one of the most interesting offers on the market. When we say “the most interesting” we don't mean “the biggest” or “the most universal” but precisely the most interesting because of a wide range of prime lenses with...

Pentax SMC-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited

 

The Pentax SMC FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited is another representative of Pentax'prestigious Limited lens lineup. The production of the lens seemsto fade out in favor of the new SMC-DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited but you shouldstill be able to find new ones for around...

Pentax 645N

 

The 645N is about the size and weight of a Nikon F4, which is pretty good considering that it produces a 6x4.5cm image (actually 41.5x56mm versus a Nikon's 24x36mm frame). The standard lens is a 75/2.8. Pentax cheaps out and doesn't give you a lens...

Pentax smc FA 77 mm f/1.8 Limited

 

Again a lens that should not be measured against a test chart but with real subjects and real images. A true aristocrat!

Beautiful buildBeautiful just to look at, it must be one of the prettiest lens ever madeFantastic bokeh, perfect for portraiture, sharpens up very nicely stopped down. Has the magic pixie dust

Bit of PF wide open with high contrast subjects

Pentax smc FA 77 mm f/1.8 Limited

 

Image quality and joy of handling this lens excel each other :-)

Near perfect build quality. Near perfect optics on 35mm film as well as with Pentax DSLRs. Even wide open resolution and contrast are very good, from f2.8 they are superb

Contrast may be reduced when taking pictures aginst the light source. Somewhat expensive but the price tag is still fair
