the pentax 50/1.2s don't come cheap... there's one on ebay right now:

actually I was doing some research on the photography forums on this lens. Impression I got was that fast tho this lens is, its not that good in optical quality, esp when there are some many variants of the 50mm available! think the A 50/1.7 has been quite well lauded... and so is the F 50/1.4, except that (as many pointed out) that the AF is something you don't need.
really? hmmm I know fengwei has SMC 50mm f1.2not sure whether has he sold it off
feng wei has lots of rare and precious goodies lah..
from good cameras, to excellent lenses to cute daughter cum model....![]()
That one is definitely not worth it. Heck it is even older than the M series.While the allure for fast glass is very tempting, in reality the performance for the f/1.2 lenses aren't very uniform and more likely to exhibit aberrations such as coma.
Anyway here is a recent review of the Pentax FA50mm f/1.4. No reason why this isn't in every Pentax user's camera bag. Great value and dare I say better than the rest. :angel:

"50mm" is a prime lens right? Seems like this number is very popular, what kind of shots is it suitable for?![]()
How much is it? And whats the difference between DA and FA? Digital and Film?
