Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA 17mm - 70mm f/4 AL (IF) SDM Super Wide Angle Auto Focus Zoom Lens:

I use this lens for most of my photo work. If I could only have one lens this would be it and I'd still be happy. It focuses close, great color and very sharp. I wish it was weather proof and yes I have used it the rain.

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA 17mm - 70mm f/4 AL (IF) SDM Super Wide Angle Auto Focus Zoom Lens:

I just started to use this lens on a new camera but feel it will be in my standard setup from now on. From the start this lens is impressive for its smooth quiet operation and extra fast focus. The lens hood is a little fussy to attach but stays put and doesn't interfere with the view.

This is my do everything lens, my work horse. Don't let people tell you that you need f2.8 you don't f4 is fast enough, and range makes it more useable. This lens makes beautiful flower pictures and portraits. It's great for weddings indoor and outdoor. The landscape pictures will just take your breath away.JB
