Trying out manual lens Pentax 50mm f1.7
Posted By: Mark Morb, 05-30-2009, 04:09 AM

Thought I would buy a couple of manual lenses to see how I get on.
They arrived this morning, a Pentax 50mm f1.7 and the Chinon Equivalent 50mm f1.7
Just tried the Pentax out in the garden...a bit tricky to focus at large apertures due to the narrow DOF but practice makes perfect...anyway, here's the first shot...I think I'm going to like this lens....

Straight RAW conversion in Lightroom, no PP.

Beautiful image!

I have both the Pentax-M 50/1.7 and Pentax-A 50/1.7 lenses and can attest to the fine optical quality of both lenses.

Great job with the Pentax 1.7. I love my Pentax M 1.7 and use it a lot when I hike. It is an excellent lens and has given me more for my dollars than any other Pentax lens.
