Took these shot curiously and was pleasantly surprised - any guess about the lens? It's Pentax and all the shots are wide open

i think this is 50mm F1.4 because it got blue cast.

**arv** · 07-15-2013, 03:45 AM

85mm f2.2 soft focus?

ignmar · 07-15-2013, 08:08 AM

I can see the listing now:

PENTAX M 50mm f/1.4 - UNIQUE! L@@K!!!

This wonderful Pentax prime has a unique, modified front element for perfect low-contrast portraits with BEAUTIFUL BOKEH. You won't believe the pictures it takes.
Since it is completely unique, I am selling for $250 OBO.

But wait, there's more...

Using this large-aperture lens that has been optimized with artistic flare features, you will capture dreamy scenes on full-frame and APS-C sized cameras. Optional accessory (see separate listing): Front lens cap.

@ignmar, you were dot right - very impressive.

This should teach us not to care for some little scratchs when buying used!

Kozlok · 07-15-2013, 10:15 AM

Really impressive.

Cool thread, I myself was experimenting with a broken Takumar 50/1.4 and was surprised to discover the same thing. Check out the Takumar club for future pictures.

Once I've almost paid 250USD for 85mm soft focus... stupid me, I just had to crash my FA 50...
