Overview

The SMC Pentax-FA 28-70 mm f/4 AL is a budget-friendly zoom lens praised for fast autofocus in bright light (Rachel Writes). Its optical strengths include good bokeh at 70mm, but bokeh is less attractive at 28mm due to an octagonal aperture shape (Rachel Writes). Build and handling are not detailed, but the lens is compact and affordable at around $86 used (Rachel Writes). It suits family photographers who favor the 28-70mm range and can work around the bokeh limitations by zooming in for portraits (Rachel Writes).
