Home > Consumer Reviews > Pentax SMC 35mm f2 FA Lens

I bought this for my Samsung GX20 (K20D twin). Initially, it was soft a dreamy at f2 (fine by f2.8) but after a correction trip back to Pentax, it is now excellent at f2 and beyond. It is a quality plastic, small, lightweight lens which is very sharp corner to corner. Distortions are almost zero. The bokeh is nice and smooth. Colour is accurate. Flare is not an issue - there is a supplied hood. Only fault (small one) is that the focus ring rotates as it focuses - so keep your fingers out of the way; filters are not affected by this, so a polariser is fine. Equivalent to about 50mm on 35mm - so a 'normal' lens on APS-C sensors. Either Samsung or Pentax version will do - both the same - so choose on best price and service. Great lens.
