    That's actually nice cheap lens with not bad optical quality. ONLY down thing is that it's MADE CHEAP and it feels. If it gets fungus in it - buy another lens, just don't disassemble it! This lens is not made for somebody to take it apart and clean, it's just absurd how such a big company packed optics inside... If you get fungus in between 1st and 2nd elements (bayonet side), you just can't get them apart without ruining a piece of plastic which holds those elements and after you clean them, elements do not stay in place and you need to glue them... It's so stupid... For 40-50$ if it's clean, it's ok to buy. If it starts to show some little spots that could be fungus - don't even consider to buy that, find another.

    What bothers me is that many cool third party lenses are no longer produced for Pentax. And the original lenses from Pentax cannot compete with those from Canon and Nikon in terms of numbers.

    • @lensvana
      @lensvana 6 дней назад

      Yep, this is definitely a limitation of the Pentax system. There are excellent first party lenses, but nowhere near the total selection in the Canikon world. And Canon/Nikon have a better selection for super telephoto. I think where Pentax excels is landscape/hiking/astro, taking full advantage of the robust build quality and weather sealing

Something about the look of the files that is more film-like to my mind, particularly in low light. Could be the larger pixels compared to the 800, maybe. Naturally, the 800 excels when cropping is necessary.

    This lens is actually quite useful for some tasks (for me, I bought one used and use it as a backup lens in case one of my other standard zoom lenses deicdes to stop working for whatever reason or gets damaged). But honestly I would never pay the full $399 for it. I paid about $180 for mine (used but in good conditin) but I don't think it's worth $399 new especially since you can get a used 24-70 f/4 for about $400 anyway.

It's truly a memorable piece of equipment in my fotography journey and its weatherproof build with the WR lenses makes it stand out. By the way, you are a very skilled photographer!

      Hey that's a great deal! The 135mm F3.5 from what I hear is a good performer from F5.6, but even wide open can be used for portraits. It's tiny and lightweight which are the main advantages. The 80-200 I'm not sure about, I know there were lots of those made by third party manufacturers in those days - it won't blow you away but could be a versatile tool at F8 in good light

      @@lensvana i only own the 16-50 kit lens of my old sony a3000 and i was needing a film slr anyway (and minolta slr is a great cost-benefit at that) so that's still 4 lenses for a good price, i guess i'll have to see what the third party 80-200 can do (i guess bird photography will put it to a harsh test for this), but i'm still really satisfied with that purchase and i have high hopes for when it arrives! i'll let you know about the 80-200 when i get it

      I got it with Rikenon 50mm lens and just purchased the same 18-135mm. I loved the 50mm used it but sometimes i couldn't get close to the subject, like the gator i spotted. By the time i stepped forward the gator was gone 😢

    I use the FX-version on my D7200, because of the 105-450mm and Sport VR, plus all weather durability. But the DX-version is not bad at all. Tried it before I bought the FX (second hand).

    Nice, thoughtful review and I really enjoyed the thoughts on urban landscape towards the end. I had the non-VR version of the lens about 15 years ago. It’s very nice on APS-C - it’s about 35-135mm on the crop sensor.

    • @lensvana

      Thanks for watching! I agree, 35-135mm equivalent is a great range and I bet the image quality is even better on APS-C

    Unless you find an amazing deal on the III or IV, I would always recommend ponying up the additional cash for a V or Va, and even then I would hesitate to even recommend the III at all. Phase detect autofocus is such a massive game changer and the stacked sensor even-moreso.
