Hi guys, just gotten my new k-x a month ago.
Going on a trip to hong kong soon and heard that the prices over there is cheaper than singapore.
I am interested in the pentax smc a 50mm f1.2
Saw it selling 2nd hand at B&S for around $800+
Is 2nd hand price around there? Sample is too few to determine for me so require some input from long time pro!
The bokeh from the 1.2 is :devil:
If not, the pentax smc a 50mm f1.4 would be a good choice too.
Saw fengwei just sold one 2nd hand at B&S for $280 and i was too slow to get it.
Is the 2nd hand price around there too?
Think that the price difference between a and fa is unjustifiable cause i think manual focus would be fine. And the price increase of the fa since last year is :nono:
Unless i can find the fa hk at its old price then i think it is reasonable to purchase it.
Just to confirm, the a 1.2 and 1.4 are not in production already? Only way to get hold of them is 2nd hand? What about the fa?
Another thing that i wanna explore is flash photography. Have decided on the metz af58 cause it is feature rich. A check on price.com.hk shows that it retails for SGD$530 at hk. While i think the best local price is $600 from OP.
Just wanna ask if the local set has warranty?
Dont think that i will sacrifice the warranty for $70, considering i am talking about flash here instead of manual lens.
Any input from fellow pentaxians here will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
