📷 Pentax SMC DA 16–45mm f/4 — Reliable, Affordable, and Still Relevant?
In this video, we take a closer look at one of the first autofocus lenses in Pentax’s DA lineup — the SMC Pentax 16–45mm f/4. Released back in 2003 together with the *ist D, it was the go-to standard zoom for early APS-C Pentax DSLRs.
🔍 What you'll learn in this review:
– Why its simple, all-mechanical design still holds up today
– How it compares to the more basic 18–55mm kit lens
– Whether it’s worth the $50–$75 price on the used market
– How sharp it is at f/5.6, and how it handles portraits at 45mm
– What compromises to expect: no internal zoom, extended barrel, no AF motor
It wasn’t a flagship lens, but at the time, it was the best wide-to-standard zoom Pentax offered for APS-C — until the DA* 16–50 arrived in 2007. Even now, if you're looking for an affordable 16mm lens with decent performance, this might be the most practical option.
📌 Compatible with: *ist D, DS, K10D, K200D, K-3, KP, and other Pentax K-mount APS-C bodies.
