A Night Photographer's Staple

By Jiri K

If you shoot astro and milky way, this is it! - It's nicely wide, even on a crop sensor - 2.0 is plenty fast to keep your ISO down and still avoid star trails - surprisingly sharp wide open and razor sharp 5.6 and up - focus ring has a long throw, is firm, yet buttery smooth. No creep - If you do infrared, there is no red dot, so you need to test focus - mine came with a petal hood - mine is a Pentax mount, so has no confirmation chip - this means no EXIF data other than lens focus distance is written - I use back-button focusing, so can easily focus even without chip Good lens, and for the money a total bargain. Image Quality wise it is on par with my Pentax 15/4 Limited

Meets/Exceeds Expectations

4.5 Stars. It works great with my K-S2 with the exception that it is hard to turn the F-stop ring while mounted to the camera (flash overhang of body is too close to lens, but that is a Pentax issue and not the lens). Was surprised, but ecstatic, how sharp my photos were shooting hand held in dusk lighting at F2.0. Not bothered by manual focus, but would appreciate at least an ability to project focus indication in the viewfinder so I didn't always have to use the external viewscreen to do my focusing. This is why I pull a half star back. Bought to use for Aurora shooting, haven't had a chance to test that, but feeling confident. Highly recommend for landscape style at the very least.
