Let's take inventory of my small equipment to me that I ... After 135mm , I wanted a slightly longer focal length - the 135mm, it will not fetch you a little bird on a high Brache, except to climb yourself the tree.
So I went back over the bay with my little basket, after 50mm f: 1.4 British and 135mm f: 3.5 Swiss Hellenic is a 200mm (always in the range of Pentax SMC-M) I've dug up for a very reasonable sum.
- Type: Fixed focal lens manual
- Manufacturer: Pentax
- Model: SMC Pentax-M 200mm f: 4
- Purchase Date: November 4, 2007 ( on ebay, from Greece)
- Filter Holder: 52mm
- Sunshade integrated
- Aperture: f / 4 to 32, eight blades
- Focus: 2m to infinity
This has the advantage of being very compact in terms of its focal length. A little heavy, perhaps: it does not plastoc subsequent series F, a little more cumbersome as still as the 135mm, they can really take with you without even thinking. Question
image quality, no bad surprise from the first test I scored quite satisfactory. The grip is pleasant, well balanced the resulting image has a good definition, even a large opening - well, its openness: it's f: 4 'only' . Knowing that the camera in hand, it is difficult to go below 1 / 250 th second, it is understandable that it is not so common to go beyond f: 8, especially winter. The image quality at full aperture is welcome!
I use a lot more this goal in recent months, for two reasons: the purchase of a 300mm (which I will) helped me appreciate how much this was actually 200mm so little and light, and then one of the benefits of fatherhood, is that you can use the stroller to lug around the tote photo, it was quite full!
