Good review, glad to see it getting some publicity... just hope Pentax can continue to meet demand for it
... seems to be readily available now, but about a year ago to go shopping for one was a bit like "I'm looking for a grail..."
Quote: Undoubtedly the best bang for the buck in a Pentax lens.
Absolutely. In fact I would amend that sentence slightly:
The best bang for the buck in a lens. A 50mm f/1.4 lens anyway. It can be bought for £165 or less, compared to £200 for the Nikon or £250 for the Canon! And it's at least as good as either.
(Btw the Minolta relabelled Sony is the most expensive at £279... I can only assume Sony hire Leica users to set their prices, and they think it's great value...)
The fifty to me represents what Pentax is (or at least should be) about... the same quality or better,
and at a lower price!
