Comments about Pentax 21730 DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited:

Only negative is it's hard to manual focus on anything more than 2 ft away. The helicord "gain" is too high, with only maybe 10-15 degrees of travel from 2ft to infinity.

Comments about Pentax 21730 DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited:

Sturdiest lens I own. It has allowed me to take sweet macro pics of truly important things: the dog's nose, a dandelion, and a funky deformed Cheerio my daughter wanted a picture of. Doesn't get better than that, eh?
