I read the reviews for it and when I saw one on fleabay I bid and won it. I also have the f1.4 version and was supposed to be selling one of them, but I'm waiting until I've tried them on a K1 whenever that will be. I like both of these lenses for different reasons...I find the 1.7 very sharp/lighter to carry with less CA issues than the 1.4...but I really like the bokeh on the 1.4 wide open...decisions, decisions.

Gotta get yourself a "Special Lady” (Pentax-A 50mm F1.2), then you'll sell all the others "tout suite"...

Alas the old eyesight ain't good enough to manually focus...rely heavily on AF lenses these days.

Aye just wait 'till you see the viewfinder on a K1... big and bright.

It's a beautiful image. Would take too long to mention everything I like about it.

For me this photo evokes a moment of transition and arrival . The power of photography created in 1/800 of a second!

What a clever and evocative photo! Congrats.

Excellent find. Not an obvious subject like flower or mountain.
