Is this the version that works with SDM?

I will probably regret selling my Pentax A 35-105. A great lens that I bought new some 35 years ago, but decided to sell it as it did not get used any longer. Who knows, one day....

Yesterday I lent my K20D to my 15-year-old daughter and we went for a walk with the family at an historical site in Helsinki.

Here a selection of her pictures, I am sure she would appreciate some constructive feedback

Have you considered sending hood/tripod mount/papers separately?
Probably still expnensive...

Good luck! I have inherited one of these and it is actually a very good lens IMO.

I can see a difference but it is far less obvious.

Can this be right? My humble kit lense can nearly match a ltd lens for sharpness across the frame?

Admittedly the zoom is used more at the extremes of the focal length more often than in the middle but I have to say I am pretty staggered.

Presumably the prime will perform much better than the zoom wide open (and it is considerably faster to boot.

I await a stern defence of the ltd- so many on here own these lenses and I hanker after one myself.
I have to be careful here, as I am not a lens expert.....

But IMO you do not buy a FA LTD to use it at f8. There is a lot of talk about their "3D rendering" which has a lot to do with their bokeh, and it is truly something special (at least for the FA 31 and 77, I have never tried the 43mm).
