    Overview

    The Pentax smc D-FA 100mm F2.8 macro delivers excellent sharpness and contrast, even wide open, with optimized coatings for digital sensors (OpticalLimits). Its compact, lightweight build uses polycarbonate and aluminum, but the inner tube wobbles and extends significantly (OpticalLimits). The screw-drive AF is fast but hunts without a focus limiter (OpticalLimits). It suits Pentax users seeking a high-quality macro lens, though the design feels dated.
