The smc PENTAX DA Star 50-135mm F2.8 ED (IF) SDM is a high-performance, telephoto zoom lens. It was pointed out to me Canon Crop dslrs do not alter their focal length metadata, yet Pentax does this alteration in camera and in sales literature. If sensors were crazy cheap from day one then crop format would have never existed. But my Pentax metadata tells me otherwise. Why do they say a 50-135mm 2.8 SDM is the modern replacement for the old FA 80-200mm 2.8 ?Īs I said I do not buy into the crop format means greater reach. If not then why does pentax alter the focal length metadata. Thats what I believe Pentax wants its owners to believe.
