Actually, from your shots, I would rather Pentax don't have FF.. :P

Nothing about your shots at all.. Raher, it's about the lens.. The bokeh damn fugly wide open man... :(

Wonder how it is at f/2, since that's the closest Zeiss alternative, 50/2 MP, if I really don't like it..
Can try and post a couple of images at f/2? :B

Forget it lah. ..
Money won't solve your problems. .. :D
All 50mm have situations where the bokeh will not be that good.
Its subjective too, since I find it decent in the situation posted by Ranchy.

The Pentax 50mms are as good as any other out there all things considered.
Size, price, rendering, contrast, optical properties, build
Only thing better about others are that ppl blare the trumpet louder.
Some will be better for one thing or another but the Pentax surely stands firm amongst them.

Nice isolation.
Picts speak for themselves


I think its good if we can gather ppl for this type of shoot cum studio lighting sharing session, but so far, I just don't have the time for both a Pentax outing and a sharing session.

Pentax A50/1.4
Same optical formula as the FA50/1.4.
Certainly one of the best 50mm f1.4 out there, all factors considered.

True that.. But I guess I'm looking for a smoother bokeh which you shots show unlike Ranchy's..

If by f/2, it's smooth, I can learn how to use it well, rather than the ZK50/2 MP, which has a pretty smooth bokeh throughout.

The ZK50/1.4 is similar with our A50/1.4, but magical once f/2 onwards. Wondering how our 50/1.4 is..

Is your 3rd shot at f/2?

Asahiflex of pentaxforums and mflenses forums had a post before of the Zeiss and Pentax 50 f1.4, with samples.
His conclusion, no real diff to fuss about.
You may want to try google it up.
Lazy to dig for it on my HP. :)



That's the prob here.
Trying to compare Ranchy's shots on the basis of a heard about lens that ppl claim got good bokeh.
But we really need to compare same situation or at the very least bring up many rather similar situations/bkgnd type/focus distance to come to this sort of conclusion.


If you need f2, just use the DA50/1.8.
If it's based on the 50/1.7 but with rounded aperture, then its a lens on par with the Rollei 50/1.8.
I have compare the 2 informally

Ha..ha...

Yeah man!
Most impt to me is to keep the photos coming and keep trying to improve on technique.
 

:sweat::sweat::sweat:

I do find the bokeh not bad..

Think i better stop shooting XMM. later people see me all siam.....

Last two with more bokeh :X

Isolation with shallow dof, and add that with lighting to light up the subject more than the ambient.
I think it's well done.
