Great on Recent Cruise

I had a blast spending most of half day roaming around the Liberty of the Seas Royal Caribbean cruise ship taking snaps with my D5100. I got pix that could not have been taken of the ship with any other lens. Most of my shots were from f/5.6-f/11 and the depth of field and sharpness were incredible. I had added a manual light meter to the hot shoe which made it simple to get the correct exposure since this lens is manual in every way. Highly recommended.

Fun Lens

Fun lens. Compact and light but feels sturdy. Sharp, particulalry when stopped down a little. 180o fiels of view makes for some interesting results. The "A" setting on my Pentax variant makes it easy to use. Interacts perfectly with my K5-II.
