Genuine Ford product
Don't really know what to say! It is a 'proper' Ford part which fitted my car as it should. Delivery on time.

Go for it!
1 of 1 found this helpful As I'm doing a lot of architectural photography at the moment, I decided to go for this lens as it is the only one available in Pentax fitting. It arrived from Poland less than a week after ordering, nicely packaged. After ordering I made the mistake of watching a YouTube video saying it was dreadful. Had I made a mistake?
The lens is well built and heavy. Some say the locking knobs are too small, but they do the job. The pictures are sharp, I even took one wide open (many say NEVER do that) and they're as good as my Sony compact. Down to f5.6 they are very sharp indeed. I am delighted. Focusing is easy, just set it to manual and listen for the beep. It's virtually as quick as autofocus.
My KP wouldn't work with it at first so i investigated, and you have to change a setting in the menus (can't remember what, it doesn't need to be changed back so i've only seen it once). Exposure is automatic too, set shutter priority and the camera does the rest when it's stopped down. The movements take some practice, as is their nature, and set them to normal when you've finished or sometimes you can't remove the lens from the camera, as it hits the camera body overhang. No problem, just reset them and remove the lens.
Very happy with this lens indeed.

Expensive, but well made and good value.
I have waited a couple of weeks before reviewing it, as I had read a lot of reviews saying that they bend in the middle. Well, so far I'm delighted. It feels like quality, as it should at the price. I got this after using the 'magic' mini-keyboard for months. I wanted full-size. No regrets at all. The only issue is my fault: I keep forgetting there is a proper delete key, and keep hitting Fn-Backspace, which does nothing!
