Pentax 17-70mm f/4 AL IF SDM SMC DA review by dawsonjm
Review Date: 3/27/2011 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Total Spent: None indicated| Rating: 9 

 
Pros: Sharp, reletively light, great color and IQ.
Cons: Not weather sealed, just a tad slow.

This lens has rarely been off of my K20D since I bought it last summer. It has a great range, and is a great upgrade from the kit lens.


It is not as fast as good primes, but in our dusty climate, keeping the lens on the camera saves a lot of heartache about dust on the sensor.


I just bought the DA*60-250, so this will be the perfect companion lens.


I have not done any testing, but I think that the photos with this lens have been of superlative quality.
