Last week my video was about some Minolta lens, but this week I am back to
Pentax.

My impressions of one of my favorite lenses for Pentax APS-C. As usual, the
video is a set of subjective impressions more than a technical gear review.

https://youtu.be/luA4bBc1Oho

Sadly, I'm not using this lens much, if at all anymore. Like all adapted
lenses on mirrorless it is slower to use since you lose the automatic
diaphragm, also I built myself a really nice set of most of the "Fujicrons"
so I don't need it. I just wish Fuji had something between the excellent
18mm/2.8 and 23mm/2, but that's nitpicking.

Let me know what you think, here or in the video comments!

Wonderful set of photos.  I’m sure Igor is also curious, where was the milonga in the photo at 3:09?

Thanks Larry!

That's Club Gricel, in Buenos Aires. It's one of the places where locals
dance tango, as opposed to the touristy places full of gringos :)

Wonderful images again, Juan!
Strange coincidence, as I offered my copy of this lens for sale a few
days ago.
For nature photography this lens is less useful and I've left it at home
already for a couple of years.
My copy is therefore as new and, though I love this lens, I see no
future use of it by myself.
I guess you have no objections to put the link to your video in my local
sales add .
There was already a potential buyer but after rethinking he preferred to
stay with his SMC 21.
