Comments about Phoenix Zoom Wide Angle 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 Manual Focus Lens for Pentax K:
I use this on a Ricoh KR-5 Super, and compared to the Rikenon 50mm kit lens, the Phoenix has less sharpness. For build quality, the lens seems fragile, and I feel like I have to be extra careful when using this.
To date, the lens has produced images, in my opinion, in the less-than-acceptable to acceptable range -- nothing yet usable for print. I have, however, been able to edit scans in Aperture to get acceptable snapshots for uploading. In my opinion, images produced tend to have a "cheap" quality to them that some may find appealing.
I purchased this lens to learn to use a wide-angle at a low-end price. I'm having a lot of fun learning and using it, and it can produce interesting snapshots that can actually impress. If I need serious images, however, I know I will need to acquire a better lens.
