Well-known
Via e-bay I have just received a pair of 1990s silver AF lenses , 35-80 and 80-200 for my semi-retired Pentax K10D bought solely for manual lenses .
However , I have become a touch lazy about trying to focus manually hence moving to Sony to use my Minolta AR lenses ,
Obviously, these are not quality lenses , BUT I love my silver 35-80 [ nom 52-
20 ] on the Sony A290 , and the 35-80 balances perfectly on the Pentax.
For the retirement friendly sum of £27 I have extended the possibilities of snap-shooting with the Pentax .
Initial results indicate that the lenses are perfectly adequate in resolution and contrast for my modest requirements .
Quite simply , I had moved on to Sony and Leica M8 and set aside the Pentax , which , with the demise of my Panasonic G1 will gain a new lease of life .
