Some fall color details with the K 50 1.2...





And a tree behind our house with the F 50 1.7, which actually turned out to be better than the K 50 1.2 for long distance type shots! I compared the two in a few different types of shooting situations, and was surprised to see that the F 50 1.7 holds its own and while in some scenarios it's not as good as the much-sought-after f1.2 lens (mainly bokeh and subject separation), in others it was just as good, and even sometimes the better lens - I know it's not a great shot but if you right click and open the full version, you can see every pine needle. The legend of the Pentax 50 1.7 lenses continues

It's almost weird to use such an expensive lens on such a cheap camera...

The lens would usually cost more than the camera, yes... but in this case it was basically free so I won't complain (it came with a film camera I bought and was not even mentioned in the ad, so I can consider it a freebie, and I won't complain that it has some fungus)

While the K-S1 is considered a "cheap" camera, I find it's IQ is generally on par with the K-3 and better than previous generation "top of the line" APS-C cameras such as the K-5 or even the K-5 IIs. Also, when working with manual lenses like this one, I really only need one control wheel for the shutter speed - I use a fixed ISO and change the aperture on the lens itself. So it's basically the ability of the camera itself to take good pictures plus the one control wheel that I need... and the small camera size is a huge bonus when working with those older smaller lenses (the K 50 1.2 is not small for manual lenses standards, but it's still quite a bit smaller than my Sigma 30 1.4 Art, for example... or any off my zooms.)

Edit: I just realized you were talking about the K10D picture, not a K-S1 picture.
What's not to like about the K10D? To me the way it renders its colors at ISO 100 is pretty much unmatched I'm a huge K10D fan and honestly I don't think a newer camera would have captured that light exactly like the K10D did. There's just something almost magical about it regarding how it captures luminance.
