Yes, I have the 18, 24, and 50mm Pentax 110 set (one's missing a rear lens cap. Anyone have one to sell me?). I bought these for my Pentax Q which, again, has been a disappointment (if you don't want to buy Q-mount lenses don't buy a Q!). So, they're all f2.8. I've seen some interesting shots taken in the archives from the 18. I don't know about the others. Do you guys like yours?
Hi here is my view on the subject (quite a few blog posts under one label) http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/search/label/Pentax 110 Lens summary: personally I like my 50mm and 70mm the best, the others I don't think so.
I was thinking of buying an adapter without aperture control from Amazon but the price nearly tripled. If you see a good deal, please reply. Barry Sent from my iPad using Mu-43
I don't understand what this means ... "the price nearly tripled" ... from what? I bought mine off ebay ... for instance this link I don't see the point in stopping down with these lenses, for then you are right in the same territory that (say) the 14-45 zoom is in, without the advantages of that zoom. so for me the 50mm or the 70mm at wide open are great alternatives, full sensor coverage (unlike c mount) and decent optical levels. Two quick examples: 70mm (dreadful lighting in a darker function room) {} 50mm {}
Near tripled from $11USD to $28 or so... Only the 70mm would probably be interesting to me as I have the Oly 12-40, 17, & 45mm Thanks, Barry Sent from my iPad using Mu-43
I would say yes. While they're not sharp at the corners, they do make nice small primes (18 and 24) that allow m4/3 cameras to be really pocketable. They're also much better than a body cap. Do C-mount lenses work well on the Q? They seem to be extremely crappy except for macro with the DTC on m4/3.
