Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PENTAX DA 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED (IF) Fish-Eye Lens for Pentax Digital SLR
Customer Review: Super Wide - Super WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though I've only had this lens less than a week I am impressed with it. I have gotten some shots where the blues and greens are so saturated it looked like a polarizer was used, and one wasn't. Simply beautiful.
There are no threads on the lens hood for filters. I have tried holding a square sunset filter in front of the lens with good results. The Auto focus is fast & smooth and quiet. I'll post photo's when I get a chance.
I got the full width of my house in the picture while standing five feet back from the bottom porch step. The lens cap slides over the hood. I may try to make up a series of adaptor rings to slide over the hood so I can use filters on this lens.
