This review is from: Pentax SMCP-D FA 50mm f/2.8 Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

This lens is easier to use and has more features than a more costly Canon lens which I used with my Canon Rebel, a camera I no longer have. The only complaint that I have is that the focus lock moves into the "lock" position to easily which keeps the camera from focusing either manually or automatically.

This is a great lens if you need a macro. On the Pentax *1st DS it gives images that are 1.5 times the actual size of the object. The first lens arrived damaged, but it was replaced by the vendor without any hassle.

Using this lens with the K10D Pentax digital camera is a true pleasure. The sharpness of the images is outstanding!
