Pentax SMC P-DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED Lens Review

Pentax SMC P-DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED (IF) Verdict

This quirky lens may not be the best performing lens available, but then that may not be the point with an optic like this. Sharpness is good in the centre of the frame, for the most part, it is just the performance towards the edges that lets this lens down. Even so, it's a fairly inexpensive way to get a fisheye optic for you Pentax camera, which must be this lens' biggest selling point.
