Very pleased with this lense
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Expensive and quite heavy but the clarity and sharpness of the images taken are brilliant. Used in low light/dark clouds and maximum focal length at an airshow and I am very pleased with the results. Superb lense

A great travel camera for use with the K-1.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I bought the lens to use with a Pentax K-1 full frame camera as a travel lens. I already have a Pentax 24-70mm lens that is on the large and heavy side for carrying long distances. I have now used it several times and the picture quality has been every bit as good as the more expensive lens.

Found it didnot perform as well as expected in low light conditions
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The lens cover is a nuisance when wanting to change settings, did not perform as well in low light used artifical light or a flash to get best results. Took a while to master the auto focus but generally okay. Better than other makes I have tried with the camera.

Excellent versatile lens for Pentax K1
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I have had this lens for some time now with my Pentax K1 but it also works well on my K3. It is a lightweight lens but the image quality and build is is excellent. It is my first choice for a travel /everyday lens. As far as I can see, all the reviews connected to this lens are for other Pentax lens specifications so I thought I would write a review which links to the correct lens (Amazon should be careful about this!). If you haven't got a full frame Pentax SLR, do look out for a deal which combines camera and this lens as it will probably be much better value.

Great lens, it has replaced my older Sigma and Tamron lenses with an up to date lens. Every thing that you would expect from a lens of this focal range with all the feature, as with any lens buy a UV filter.

8 Macro is an exceptionally good lens. Well built and weather sealed
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The Pentax 100mm f/2.8 Macro is an exceptionally good lens. Well built and weather sealed. It is absolutely tack sharp at all focal lengths and great as a general lens not just Marco. It works perfectly with my Full Frame Pentax K-1 with no vignetting.

Ideally suited for the K-1
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Really nice lens gives really good results, has a non-rotating front element and a little trap door at the bottom for adjusting a polarizer in the lens hood. This will be my no 1 lens unless I want to go for extra wide or tele shots. Suits the k-1 nicely and is usefully wide at the 28mm end on full frame FF setting. Nice to handle & all the rings turn smoothly (Compared to my Sigma) and balances with the camera. This is the lens for general out and about hand held shots. Pricey compared to APC lenses but well deserves 5 stars.And of course it works with the APC Pentax's if you want to upgrade in steps.

A bit of a beast to carry around but the quality of the images it produces most certainly makes up for it.
