Pentax 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED IF SMC P-DA Fish-Eye review by tachyon1701
Review Date: 6/2/2008 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Total Spent: $350.00| Rating: 10 

 
Pros: Pentax build quality, quick AF, light
Cons: Can't attach filter to protect lens (like most fisheye lens)

This lens is so fun! I bought it at first with some hesitation that I might not use it as often because it is seemingly "less practical" than normal lenses. But this has become my favourite lens to bring everywhere!


You can really be creative with this lens and take some specacular pictures. Excellent image quality, quick to AF, and quality Pentax construction. No attachable filter to the front (most fisheye) means you've got to be careful with the front glass element.


Try it with the flash and you'll take some fun and surreal pictures with it!
