. so back to square one.
sadly i still dont have a m42 adapter for my camera.... maybe its time to get one.
how often do the cosina 55mm 1.2 come up in ebay?
Here's the last one I saw--went cheap ($172.50), and PentHassyKon was right about the seller:
Pentax / Cosina 55 mm f1:1.2 lens, Very Rare - (eBay.ca item 130298538644 end time 07-Apr-09 12:52:22 EDT)
They usually go for at least $200.
I don't think you should mourn the A50 1.4--they're everywhere!
I think you should go for the Nokton anyway (got one and love it), or if you want to splurge and get something AF that will match the rest of your kit, the DA*55. I've tried one for a few days and the bokeh is very close to the Nokton and the colour, contrast and sharpness are all excellent.
Hell, what's someone with two 31 limiteds looking at a $90 lens for anyway?
