Pentax SMC DA 21MM F3.2 AL LIMITED Pro Reviews

photozone‘s review Edit

The Pentax SMC-DA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited is a very good lens but it is not as special as its longer cousins (specifically the Pentax FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited) nor is this really possible because of the increasing design problems when pushing things towards wide and ultra-wide angles. The center performance is exceptionally high whereas the borders require f/5.6 to achieve very good levels.

slrgear‘s review Edit

I enjoyed using the 21mm ƒ/3.2 as a walk-around lens on a K100 Super: it's small enough to be extremely portable, fast enough to be very versatile, and tough enough to last. The lens offers excellent results in image sharpness, good resistance to chromatic aberration, and minimal distortion, at the cost of a little bit of corner shading when used wide open. It's a little piece of luxury that does more than look good - it delivers the goods, too.
