Excellent Lens
[ Posted: 2003-07-01 ]
When I bought my Pentax ZX-L camera with the lens kit, I had no idea what I was getting into. The 28-90 mm lens the camera came with produced some of the worst pictures I have ever taken in my whole entire life. I've taken better pics with my thumb in the way.
Eventually, through reading other reviews on Amazon about the uselessness of most lens kits, I realized I'd have to buy a new, more expensive, better quality lens if I was going to at least take satisfactory pictures--which was my reason for buying an SLR camera in the first place.
Someone else's review of the Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm lens inspired me to purchase it. It's primarily a close-up lens, but it takes good pics from any distance. I've taken some really impressive, professional-looking photos with it.
All I need now is a business card--"Angie's Professional Photography," or something. I could make money off of this!
