Regardless of the fact that they are autofocus lenses the Pentax Limiteds are considered classics among lens connoisseurs. I decided to take advantage of the opportunity here to post photos made with autofocus lenses and open this thread for photos made with the Pentax FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited. Anyone is welcome to post their photos here made with this beautiful lens. I've seen people shooting Canon or Pentax users switching to other brands keeping the three FA Limiteds so if you are a Canon user or any other brand using your Pentax Limiteds please post your photos here.
An article written by Mike Johnston might be of interest to people never heard of the Pentax Limiteds before: sm-02-05-02
I hope you enjoyed it. |

The quality of Pentax lenses surprises me all the time, when I see pictures taken with them (tobbsmann, spotmatic and others). Obviously so many people know this now, that at the last Frankfurt Camera Fair I didn't see any Takumars, except for some Asahi lenses for the 6x7.
Astonishing picture quality, really.

Not only lenses, Pentax DSLR cameras are one of the best quality DSLR cameras, their color , sharpness pretty much above than others in my opinion.
