First of all, just abnormally big thanks to Eric (simple1) for this beautiful lens he sent me as a gift!
Pentax M 50mm f1.7
Eric, thank you so much.
First thing I immediately noticed is that how much smoother the focus ring feels compared to any other modern lenses I have. It is just pleasure to rotate, just to do it without even taking pictures, it is that pleasing. More than that, you feel more resistance in hand when you rotate it faster. It is so good you'll want to do manual focus all time.
The aperture ring is somehow stiff, but I think it's better to be stiff than accidentally change it in the field.
I don't know about other series yet, but the build quality of this lens is just fantastic.
I'll take some good pictures soon, like it deserves
by the way, can you guys tell me your thoughts about focusing experiences with other M lenses or A whatever...
