- Starting Macro - PentaxForums. com
My main macro lens is a Tamron SP Adaptall-2 90mm f 2 8 (model 72B): Tamron SP MF MACRO 1:1 (72B) 90mm F2 8 Lens Reviews - Tamron Adaptall Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database This 1:1 manual-focus lens was introduced in the mid 1990s, so it's not a modern lens
- Pentax Lens Disassembly Database - PentaxForums. com
This is a great lens in many ways: great optical quality, excellent macro capability, and cheap and commonly available The DAL plastic mount version has the exact same optics, and even has quick shift with the release-button trick!
- Sigma APO 300mm F4 - Pentax Forums
The IQ, bokeh and abilities to absorb light are no less than those of 400 5 6 APO Macro, which I appreciate very much Compared to my latest addition, Sigma 100-300 F4 APO EX, its images look slightly less sharp wide open - in exchange for more dreamy rendering and retaining noticeably more layers of light as your eyes can observe
- KP and a manual focus macro lens - PentaxForums. com
I have a KP and a couple of macro lenses (Sigma 50 2 8 manual focus and Tamron 90 2 8 autofocus, both 1:1), even though I don't do that much macro One of my lenses is autofocus, but I use both in manual focus When I shoot macro 99% of the time I am using a tripod, therefore I am also using 2 sec delay, live view, focus peaking, and magnification

- Tamron Adaptall-2 SP (01A) 35-80mm F2. 8-3. 8 - Pentax Forums
Macro performance across the central two thirds of the film plane stands up very well against dedicated macro lenses Amazingly, this lens yields very good macro performance across the entire film plane when used with Tamron's SP 2X tele-converter There is no push button or macro ring which must be turned to enter the macro mode
- Tokina AF SD 28-70mm F3. 5-4. 5 - Pentax Forums
Handling - Has a bonus macro mode after 70mm very much like the Pentax-F 35-70mm It is a 1:5 macro and has a minimum focus of about 15-18 inches Lens is really easy to maneuver Aberrations - Handled my bright sunny shots with light colored flowers well with no overt fringing or blown out areas Autofocus is fast and accurate most of the time
