I am not a Pentax user, but I have seen images taken with this lens. Yes... it is a wonderful lens for portraits.

Sorry, as I dun have the portraits. :)
 

This lens indeed should be in every Pentaxian bag. ;p
 

haha pentax should probably keep it alive and prolly release an anniversary version since its such a classic :) just like the limited ed K10D...
 

Currently anyone using any lens hood with it?
 

ANy updates on this Lens im planning to buy one... this month :)

I saw couple of them at OP last time I went there, that's about 10 days ago :)
 

saw 4 at MS Color last wk, when I went down to get the FA 43. ;)
 

mscolor got the FA 43 ?? they have stock or need to order ? can share how much ?? Thanks

I saw only 1 piece on display when i was there before knyghtfall bought it. Anyway can check with them.:)
 

Perhaps knyghtfall81 can post how much he paid for the FA 43mm Ltd at the Pentax Price List MEGATHREAD for the benefit of all.

gigahz, what's there to update?
The FA 50mm f/1.4 and a few other lenses are easily available now at several shops. Just search the recent posts. Give the shops a call or go down in person. Obviously there will be walk-in customers and tourists buying, so if you take your time the stock might disappear off the shelves. I bought mine all within a period of 5 minutes.

Orient Photo has the original Pentax rectangular 50mm plastic lens hood (49mm) for the 50mm. I ordered one through them and they brought in 2 pieces. Very trick looking, and it comes with a nice pouch. Those on a budget look elsewhere. :)
 

Thanks istDes and Creampuff. I think I got the last copy from MS Color, Cathay and OP were out of stock when I checked. Cheesed off with OP when they quoted me a super high price to order in. Will post the price in the megathread :)

Enjoying the lens by the way.. =) i managed to get my hands on a PK - EOS adaptor and am trying out some lens on a 350D.. no i'm not switching camps, just that I have ready access to a 350d so can use it sometimes, tho MZ-3's still my favourite.. tho am keeping eyes out for the K20D like everyone else here. ;)
