The Pentax 100mm f2.8 SMC D-FA WR Macro Lens has been designed for digital and film SLR cameras and provides a 1:1 life-size reproduction. Its solid weather resistant construction makes the Pentax 100mm f2.8 macro lens reliable enough to use under all kinds of conditions, regardless of your subject; insect or flower photography need never be cancelled due to bad weather. Its maximum aperture of f/2.8 and 8 rounded aperture blades also make the 100mm macro lens ideal for portraiture, while the Pentax Super Protect lens coating and optical elements virtually eliminate flare and ghosting for clear, crisp, high-quality images.  More

    Comments about Pentax 100mm f2.8 SMC D-FA WR Macro Lens:

    I am very pleased indeed with this lens. It provides consistantly high quality images. My prime use is flowers and insects. It also makes a good portrait lens as well but I rarely use it for that. It has survived a trek in the tropical rain forest with not problems and good results

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Pentax 100mm f2.8 SMC D-FA WR Macro Lens:

      Easy to focus and finetune with the focus ring but sometimes hunts, but less so now I'm used to it. Pin sharp macro work and good depth of field. Camera usually set at 100 ISO and lens is fine even in dull light.
      I took a long time deciding as I'm quite new to digital, this lens is equal to any of my film medium format and 135 kit. A good buy

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
