Digital camera reviews of Pentax SMC DA* Series 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF SDM Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A SUPERB LENS
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is for both 16-50mm and 50-135mm DA*lenses. I have both of them and they are fantastic! I couldn't recommend them highly enough. If you only have enough money to get one for now, I would suggest getting the 50-135mm first. This lens is so sharp you couldn't believe it. Yes they are expensive, but they are worth the money. When I got them, they are $100-$150 cheaper than they are now. I just don't know why the prices have gone up, but I guess that goes for Nikon and Canon as well. Regardless, Pentax lenses are a lot cheaper than Nikon and Canon.
I'm not one of those lucky people who got their lenses right the first time. It was quite a bit of work, but at the end, everything is okay and I am really happy. I did have to send in my two lenses to Pentax for service due to front and back focus issues. With the 16-50mm front focus, and 50-135mm back focus. To make the story short, it took Pentax about 6 weeks to adjust the lenses and send them back to me. Now they are perfect and they are my two favorite lenses where ever I go, well the 50mm too!
Hope this helps and good luck to you!
