A fellow Pentax owner is will to provide 6 K-mount lenses for testing.

And I can promise you one obscure one already ;-)

How obscure? Can you give us a hint about the mount (K, M, A, F, FA, DFA, etc..), ha ha... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Rolleyes' />

K-mount. Manual focusing. Dangerous for the K-5. Cool for the K-01.

I'm really eager to get to try the K-01. Looking forward to the tests =)

Well...let'see...


  • K50 f/1.2 is not all that obscure, they come up for sale every couple of weeks or so, but it's interesting because of the speed.

  • K15 f/3.5 (AL) is more obscure, it's interesting because of it's applicablity on the APS-C crop format.

  • K135 f/2.5 you already tested, it's interesting as a head-to-head reference against the old sensor.

  • The K30/2.8 is obscure and has a lot of fan boys. But I don't think it would be interesting to PZ.




...Gonna guess the K50 f/1.2...might be pretty fun with the focus peaking on the K-01.

I have the K 135mm f/2.5, it is a remarkable lens. I slightly need to sell it cause I need the money. But I really don't want to due to the K-01 (and whatever comes later). <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' />

Naah, these are not obsure enough. Boring mainsteam in comparison. [Image: biggrin.gif]

One of the 1000mm or 2000mm ones then? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' />

Could it be some of the A* lenses? The A* 135/1.8, but it is probably not obscure enough.
