Yeah, the 50 1.4 generally is pretty pricey, since EVERYONE wants to get it (not just the Pentax shooters/videographers
). Sometimes, you luck out on it tho, especially on those local sales when the seller has no idea what it is they're selling hehe. Or they just don't care and wanna sell it quick. I dunno how the market is there in Pinas tho, but there's gotta be some hand-me-downs that someone wants to get rid of quick. Here in Vancouver, every once in a while, one pops up for a nice price and sometimes bundled up with other lenses, which is how I got mine...Keep trying
