Pentax 16-85, how close can it go.
Pentax 16-85, how close can it go.
Jul 13, 2015
Forgive me for playing so much but when I have a new tool/toy I just have to get to know all its nuances. In this case the HD PENTAX-DA 16-85mmF3.5-5.6ED DC WR. Now this was a quick and dirty test but it shows the Closest focus at 16mm and and 85mm. Consider this ballpark, not definitive, it was a quick test handheld.
16mm I thought it was going to lock on closer but it just couldn't quite do it. It tried but just couldn't catch focus.
85mm (130mm equiv) Not too bad. Not super close but that is about 4.25 inch across the width or 108mm. Not macro but respectable close-up.
