First of all this topic is not about question rather it is kind of review of lens because before I buy this lens, I could't find much information about lens. I tired my chance and I bought one of these lenses from ebay auction 20 pound free p&p. It arrived Wednesday but as I had busy week I couldn't touch it till yesterday. Yesterday It was sunny but busy day again and I came home around 5 pm. I had about an hour to have quick walk in the town with my new lens.

Apart from one, all photos taken with 200 ISO. In photos a bit blend and dark as sun started to set and some shadow areas were already darker. All Photos taken handheld in manual mode. Here is some examples;

F=2.8, 1/125 sec, ISO 200

Rest of the photographs are comparison between Hoya 135mm prime and Pentax DAL 50-200 at 135mm. With Pentax DAL photos taken in Auto focus and Av mode. So they are entirely in focus so just ignore focusing and consecrated on the other differences.

As aperture starts with 4.5 at 135mm, much sharper pictures then as it should be.

This is bit darker than it should be and not entirely in focus.

Overal, I think it is good lens for budget photographers like my self.
