I have a change to buy this lens for $650:
Pentax-L 43mm f1.9


Is this a good lens? Has anyone used it? Samples?

Thanks!

It is an excellent little lens. I use to own it when I was still using my pentax k7.

The pentax limited range of lenses are all built very solidly, beautiful all metal construction, sharp with nice color rendition. Very small and compact too although take note that there is no finger tab on the rather small focus ring.

Lastly, I sold mine for 750. So yours is going for a nice price. Cheers and hope this helps. Try checking out the pentax subforum where they wax lyrical about the limited lenses.

I second to Gommy’s response – great price for an excellent lens.
An unique LTM mouth lens from Pentax and try to get the VF from the original package.
Cheers!

Uhm... I know it was suppose to be base on the same optical design but didn't they need to modify it a bit for the ltm version to accomodate for the different flange distance? If so, is there any difference in the rendering?
