A must for the wide end, January 9, 2007 By Dana G (Worcestrer, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews This review is from: Pentax DA 12-24mm f/4 ED AL (IF) Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR's (Electronics) The main problem with the APS-C sensor is the fact that to get a very wide angle of view, you need a special lens. My old 20mm lens, which has served me for many, many, years, is just a moderate wide on the digital sensors.
With a few doubts, I sprang for this super-wide zoom.
WHAT A SURPRISE! This lens is AMAZING!
Low or no distortion (you can get away without correcting for distortion in Photoshop - quite a feat - unless you have a fanatical lunatic architectural client). CA hard to see. Very sharp, sharper wide open than any zoom has a right to be!!
Flare is so well controlled, I shot right into th sun and did NOT get the usual string of circles, just one ghost. How do they DO that???
The constant aperture is a blessing (I still refuse to buy a zoom with a variable aperture).
All modern lenses are polycarbonate. Supposedly, it's more dimensionally stable than metal under temperature extremes. Maybe so, but I... Read more

Vivid color, amazing linearity, sharp to corners - but delicate alignment, September 1, 2007 By Rudy "pain-doc" (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Pentax DA 12-24mm f/4 ED AL (IF) Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR's (Electronics) Pop Photo (Apr-06) praised this lens as a "Wide Winner" for spectacular performance on bench testing: excellent image sharpness and contrast; imperceptible distortion ["best of breed"]; and barely notable vignetting at the short end. I can add breathtaking color, crisp contrast and ruler-straight linearity to that list. At first glance, a 2X zoom doesn't sound impressive these days - until you realize that this parafocal zoom sweeps an incredible 100 to 60 degree viewing range, that's just perfect for cramped interiors, group pictures or landscapes. This zoom is a landmark of stellar engineering: combining extra-dispersion glass and aspheric lens elements into flagship "great glass".
But a finely-tuned optical engine performs optimally only if all cylinders fire in unison ... at daylight trial, I noted a hideous 'purple fringing' [chromatic aberration] of trees and power lines outlined against an overcast sky -- something was badly remiss. Rather than returning the lens, I... Read more
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful A nice ultrawide, June 20, 2008 By This review is from: Pentax DA 12-24mm f/4 ED AL (IF) Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR's (Electronics) This lens covers a handy range of focal lengths. At 24mm (equivalent to 35mm on a 35mm film camera) it replicates the popular moderate wide angle that is handy for car shows, architecture, landscapes and group shots.
Go down to 12mm, and you get a very wide view, great depth of field, and essentially no barrel distortion.
Although there is some overlap in the focal length of the Pentax 10-17mm lens, that one has the pronounced "fisheye" distortion (though not too much at 17mm), while the 12-24 maintains straight lines (it's "rectilinear") though if you are tilted up (or down), your subject will lean in (or out).
More expensive than some lenses but less than others, I say it is worth it. Its constant f4 maximum aperture is part of the cost (and weight).
It is a little bulky, not lightweight, and has a rather large lens hood, so you might have to rearrange your bag divider...
