Review: While it may not be perfect by modern and mirrorless standards, for Pentax users, the 100mm f/2.8 is the best macro option you can get.
brings a refreshed optical formula optimized to work better with larger megapixel DSLR’s but, sadly, not much else.from 2009 as Pentax basically just updated the elements inside, keeping the exterior the same other than the labeling. But while it looks the same on the surface, the new lens formula has proven to deliver some incredibly great macro photos, even if it is accompanied by an antiquated screw-driven telescopic focus system.
This kind of stood out to me as odd at first until I extended the zoom of the lens and saw the system features an inner barrel that telescopes out for dealing with extreme close focus, so you would want that hood to ensure the inner barrel is protected. It also provides shade from glare. It turns out that this is a very good feature as frequently during my testing the AF motors were often lacking in their accuracy. I’d find myself waiting for the system to hunt forwards and backward a few times before it would land on a zone or just give up, leaving me to manually make adjustments.
The redesigned lens now features 10 elements in 8 groups , which Pentaxy says helps reduce any chance of flare or ghosting when shooting farther-off objects due to the deeply recessed design. That being said, I think macro photographers who are used to using on-lens lighting may have some headaches with this system due to the telescoping nature of the lens.
