5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent lens, 14 Mar 2009
By 
D Deacon "pixist" (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Pentax SMC 35mm f2 FA Lens (Electronics)
I bought this for my Samsung GX20 (K20D twin). Initially, it was soft a dreamy at f2 (fine by f2.8) but after a correction trip back to Pentax, it is now excellent at f2 and beyond. It is a quality plastic, small, lightweight lens which is very sharp corner to corner. Distortions are almost zero. The bokeh is nice and smooth. Colour is accurate. Flare is not an issue - there is a supplied hood. Only fault (small one) is that the focus ring rotates as it focuses - so keep your fingers out of the way; filters are not affected by this, so a polariser is fine. Equivalent to about 50mm on 35mm - so a 'normal' lens on APS-C sensors. Either Samsung or Pentax version will do - both the same - so choose on best price and service. Great lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb All-arounder, 21 Oct 2002
By form and function - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pentax SMC 35mm f2 FA Lens (Electronics)
This is one sharp, fast prime lens with great color, contrast, and lovely bokeh (character of the out of focus areas).

I find the 35mm focal length to be far more versatile than the 50mm traditionally recommended to beginning photographers. It's wide enough to be useful for scenics, and still long enough for environmental and half length portraits. Pentax's SMCP-FA 35/2 AL is a super example of what the 35mm focal length can offer.

I've been using FA 35/2 for over two years and, despite having added another six primes (all very good, btw) to my 35mm kit, I still expect this lens to have the longest legs of all.

If you prefer the virtues of primes over the convenience of zooms, this is a prime you owe yourself some time with.

Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" lens for Pentax DSLR, 31 Mar 2008
By 6x9 "6x9" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pentax SMC 35mm f2 FA Lens (Electronics)
This is my favourite lens to complement my K10D and *ist DS I own. Although this lens is not as versatile as a zoom, the focal distance is just right for a vast majority of scenes. The outstanding image quality (sharpness, contrast & microcontrast, bokeh) and wide aperture make it perfectly suitable for various jobs - like portraits, paysage, nature and available light shots.
I like shooting with prime lenses, and if I have to take only one prime with me, in 80% of cases it is FA 35 f/2.0 AL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bargain Gem in Pentax's Lineup, 24 July 2008
By J. S. White - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pentax SMC 35mm f2 FA Lens (Electronics)
While this lens may not be as 'sexy' as many in the Pentax Limited lineup, being from an older design for the 35mm Film cameras, it is still one of the sharpest lenses I've ever owned. This focal length (35mm) is a good approximation for a "normal" lens on the Pentax DSLRs due to the APSC sensors they use and their 1.53 multiplier - makes this one's effective focal length come in right around 53mm as compared with a full-frame sensor or film. It's a great walking around lens that's fast, versatile, and provides a perspective that is similar to that of the naked eye.

When you combine this fast, sharp, contrasty lens with the K20D's shake reduction and low light performance, you have an awesome combo for low-light candids. I've found that I can occasionally get tack-sharp pictures at speeds as slow as 1/8 and 1/4 - often enough, in fact, that it's worth trying the shots.

I just can't say enough good things about this lens - I would recommend it for anyone who likes the speed and contrast of prime lenses, or for any photography student ( being roughly equivalent to the standard 50mm lens that we all had on our K1000s :D ) , or for anyone who wants a versatile lens fast enough for low-light candid shots.
