I wanted a wide angle zoom for my Pentax 645Z. I researched and read reviews on a number of Pentax lenses and decided the SMCP-FA 645 33-55mm lens would meet my requirements. This is a solidly built autofocus and auto exposure lens which works with the Pentax 645 system including the 645N, 645D and 645Z etc. Test images showed extremely good resolution and color rendition. This is a good landscape and walking around lens - if any medium format setup is good for walking around. I am quite happy with my purchase. I also have two other zoom and one prime Pentax lenses. I am quite happy with all of them for the appropriate applications.

This 645 Pentax zoom produces really sharp images. Reviews were scarce and indicated the pictures would be unsharp in the corners because of curvature of field. This is totally false, starting from f/5.6, images are sharp from corner to corner. It produces splendid colors and excellent contrast. Images taken on a Pentax 645Z show amazing resolution. All in all, an excellent lens at a reasonable price.

This is an awesome lens for the 645z, the ideal walkabout lens with pin-sharp clarity and the absolute minimum of distortion throughout the range.
