Originally posted by Rupert I have owned that lens for years, like brand new. it is a very fine lens and renders great color and sharpness...Great little lens, such smooth functioning and focusing too!
Regards!
Hey I'm glad you got one...a little prime in your and otis's life will do you good. Smooth focusing is what I like so it sounds like a winner!
BTW your shots are even more filled with nice crisp details and smooth bokeh lately, keep it up!

True but not by much...I had been thinking that 1:2 with a 50mm would fill a FF just fine but glad I confirmed it with you. Handling means something to me so the A50mm seems to be rather nice to use from what I'm gathering.

Well like with many other things, malarky is in the eye of the beholder and that example of it seems quite nice.
Actually I remember reading somewhere in the past that the bokeh from this lens left something to be desired but so far this looks pretty good to me even in its brighter exposed state. I'm actually a hairs width away from getting myself a copy of this lens to try out for myself...probably a few more images will push me over the edge.
K1+FA 50mm/2.8 macro...somewhere in the mountains of Co. I did say I liked the IQ of this lens...bokeh is nice too
