Lens has fungus but still manages well both sharpness and sun Smile

Very good images from a very good lens.
I think this has the same optics as the SMC Pentax Zoom 45-125 f4
Some reference to it here:

Like 1 Like 1 Underrated lens imho. Sharp from wide open. Useful and practical focal range on both APS-C and FF cameras.

Niice work CarbonR!

MFD of a whopping 1.5 meters.

No go. Not useful. Only for people who buy lenses not for actually going out and shooting but for collecting and writing posts in forums.

Nice images. Pentax had these zooms of uncommon focal range. I need to dig out my 40-80mm and test it.

Yes, and even good from 45 to 125mm. I used it in the past when it did not had fungus and am still surprised with its results. It also have a quite nice bokeh for a zoom, not these bad colored ones.

As you did not post any samples here, you surely belong to this last group ! Wink
