5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent lens, April 22, 2009

This review is from: Pentax SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited Lens with Case and Hood (Electronics)

I bought this lens based on raving reviews and I must say that I made a good decision buying it. The lens is often described as having a very nice bokeh (out of focus blur). That is triue. Howerver, imho the most rewarding of the Pentax 77 is its overall rendering quality of colours and contrast. It is hard to describe, but the images have a sense of depth that not much other lenses give you.
The build quality of the FA 77 Ltd is superb.
The only downside are the chromatic aberrations wide open in harsh contrast situations. But these problems are imho not field relevant. This lens is a beautifull portrait lens and I recommend it.

What a great performer! This lens delivers in terms of contrast, true color rendition, "3D" look to photos, great low light photography and fabulous bokeh. No buyer's remorse here the 77MM f/1.8 is my favorite lens.
