K 2000/13.5 Reflex

K 2000/13.5 Reflex

General Description

As I am not familiar with any tests or descriptions by people who have actually used this lens, I need to do some "educated guesses." My imagine then that using this large and heavy lens is a real challenge: finding a suitable tripod for it, carrying the tripod and the lens around, focusing on distant subjects using such a narrow aperture, striving to eliminate vibrations and shooting super-fast film are all difficult things. But when they are all combined together, the challenge is even greater. On the other hand, this lens or its successor (the absolutely identical M 2000/13.5) have been in Pentax’s lineup since 1979.

The lens offers two rear filter holders, one for use with color filters and one for use with neutral-density filters.
