Now I'm 50-less and looking to fill the void.
I really want to go to 1.2
A50mm/1.2 is pricy though...
Is there a big difference between 1.2/1.4/1.7 on the A version?
Once you stop down to f2.8 does it really matter (besides the physical size of the lens of course.)
Cheers!
The Pentax 1.2 is worth every penny..
There is a difference between the 3 lenses
1.2 wide open sharp where it should to be and oh so creamy bokeh
1.4 wide open is a tiny bit soft and dreamy all over in my opinion but it is a wonderful lens because of that
1.7 Good all around lens I don't like the A version as much as the M version..
at 2.8 they are all great but the Pentax 1.2/50 is the best K and A are both so close in image quality that the only reason you would want to pay for the A version is for camera to lens communication
