Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA Review

 

I quite liked using the 40mm ƒ/2.8 Limited edition, and its optical performance is one of the better examples of Pentax's declarations of quality they apply to its limited edition of lenses. Once I found I could use the lens hood from the 21mm ƒ/3.2...

Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA review by tachyon1701

 

This is a true gem in the Pentax's already amazing prime lineup. I mean pancakes are what Pentaxs are known for! Every pentax owner should have one of these in their camera bag. It won't take up a lot of space, i promise!

Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA review by grim grimsson

 

A lens that is fun to use. It is lightweight, I can really feel the difference from other lenses I have when carrying the camera around. It can fit in the pocket as an extra lens without carrying a bag for the equipment.

Sharp, lightweight, fast

I bought a used DS body so that I could use their stunning ultrawide/fisheye zoom. Then I saw this "pancake" lens.

Gives me the ultimate: an SLR in my pocket
