Pentax HD D FA* 70-200mm f/2.8 ED DC AW Review
HD PENTAX-D FA* 70-200mm f/2.8 ED DC AW Verdict
Pentax have offered some excellent zoom lenses to accompany the introduction of the full frame K-1. The 70-200mm is up amongst the best, a very fine lens with good “character” and bokeh and a high level of sharpness that applies very evenly across the frame. This is ideal to take advantage of the full area of the 35mm-format K-1.
