Strength:
Very sharp lens. Affordable, light, and very contrasty. Fast and the auto focus works great
Weakness:
No weaknesses other then I wish Pentax also comes out with a 80mm lens. This lens is really good and I would put it up to anything from any other company. Highly recommended and a sweet one from Pentax. You can do a whole wedding with this lens alone. Customer Service Great!!! Similar Products Used: Pentax 67II, Nikon N90s, Nikon F5, Mamiya 645AF. |

Strength:
Excellent on the focus uptake. Light. Contrasty. VERSATILE!
Weakness:
None when used for the purpose a 75mm is intended for. This was the first lens for my 645N, and I was concerned because I couldn't afford the zoom. It is amazing what you can do with just this one lens! Pictures are sharp, high contrast. 2.8 great for low light, and it doesn't weigh your camera down. Big groups in tight spots? you'll need a wide angle; Head shots? you'll need the 150mm or 80-160mm. Everything else -- you need this lens !! Customer Service So far, so good!

Strength:
Excellent optics
Weakness:
None - when used within its performance parameters This is a great little lens. It delivers consistently clear images, correctly exposed when used with the 645n. Unless one is doing some specialty work, this is certainly the first lens to buy to go with the 645n. Customer Service Haven't needed Similar Products Used: Pentax 50/2 (35mm) |

SCMP-FA 645 AF75mm f/2.8
Strength:
Grat sharp lens, good contrast, quick auto focus
Weakness:
not really Although the lens produced sharp photos with good contrast, if you got close up as in a portrait during a bridal dance "b&g" the lens would get a slight fisheye effect that my brides did not enjoy. Customer Service cambridge camera should be closed Similar Products Used: p75mm standard |
