Pentax smc FA 75mm f/2.8 Lens

I am a full time professional commercial/fashion photographer and recently added the pentax 645z camera to my toolbox. It was quickly apparent that the selection of good glass was limited for the 645z. I bought the 55, 75, 120 and the 150 and have absolutely fallen in love with the 75.

I am the proud new owner of a 645D and was looking for additional lenses. After extensive research, I felt that using some of the N type lenses was worth a try. I just finished using the lense on a trip into Carlsbad Caverns and am very pleased with the performance in low light.

I purchased this kit lens as it seems to be referred to often at the same time I purchased the 645Z and am always surprised by the results for portraiture when I use it. I recently had to use it on location to do head shots for a law office, everyone is busy and they don't have time so with the...

Considering that this is the cheapest you can get an FA lens without going for used, I was skeptical. The image quality exceeds my expectations. Quality of construction won't be confused with Hasselblad, but neither will price, and it's still pretty well built.

This lens is small and light compared to most medium format lenses. I bought this as the first lens to use with my new Pentax 645Z. I was not disapointed. Resolution is great and the nice shallow depth of field at f/2.8 gives a very nice backgroung out of focus effect in portraits.

Tremendous value for money. Though not fully metal. well constructed and quite sharp. Light and small as well. Hard to imagine a better value in MF. AF is reasnoably quick in decent ligth.

Sharp as a tack, wish it had a lens hood though

super sharp ,beautifully made, relatively small

Transforms 645z to a lighter camera. Lens is superb.

love the size and weight but a bit noisy on the focus
