To those PDMLers who purchased the Zenitar 16/2.8 fisheye: Out of curiosity, what were your impressions of the build quality -- in particular, the multicoating on the front element? Was it perfect or near-perfect?
I just got one of them, allegedly new-in-box, a couple of days ago, and it seems functional enough. Aperture ring has nice clicks, and the focus has a good feel. But I couldn't help noticing little things like the bayonet mount having ever-so-slightly jagged edges in places where the Pentax machining is perfect. For the relatively low prices these lenses go for, a little funkiness doesn't seem abnormal. The coating on the front element does concern me a bit, however. It seems to have a couple of pinpoint imperfections and a tiny straight scratch. Is this typical, in your experience, or did I get a bad example? TIA, Stephen So am I expecting too much for $129 or should I just get a Lens Pen or carbon black - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
