Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Edition Black Finish Telephoto Lens.:
I've only had the lens for a few weeks, but it's terrific. My most successful experiments have been stopped street photographs, delivering awe-inspiring sharpness and a beautiful tonal gradation, and wide open close ups with in focus sharpness contrasting with really lovely bokeh. Others have complained about the lens cap, which is not click on but snug and lined with green felt, falling off. My problem--which is minor--is the opposite. It takes a bit of an effort to get it on and off.
Highly recommended

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Edition Black Finish Telephoto Lens.:
I've felt for years that Pentax lenses are unrated given the line up of superior quality lenses and sharp imaging.
The 77mm limited is no exception and is only rivaled by the 31mm and possibly the 40mm Pancake for image quality. This is a must for any Pentax user needing to round out his or her lens choices. In fact, if your being held back by the price, consider sacrificing other lens options for this one which can be used for landscape, portrait and close ups.
Pentax only needs to roll out a pro model camera now to really showcase these superb lenses.
Don't hesitate. Get one NOW.

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Edition Black Finish Telephoto Lens.:
Never been so easy to do pro quality photo's without really trying.Unsurpassed optical quality with ultra speed.This is Leica quality at a fraction of the price.BTW, Pentax had the retail on this lens at [$].The drop in price tells me that most have really missed the boat on this one.After rebate price is less than half of the original retail.I will be buying a second one.

from Worcester, Massachusaetts on 1/15/2007
Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Edition Black Finish Telephoto Lens.:
This is one of the only modern autofocus lenses that's built like the classic lenses of old. The contrast and sharpness are unsurpassed.
The out-of focus areas ("bokeh") are creamy and smooth, due to the nine aperture blades.
Smooth manual focus ring, usable on older cameras as well as the new ultra-electronic ones.
Great portrait lens. Perfect for headshots on the digitals, and portraits on the film cameras.
