Thanks Peter ... and nice DA 50/1.8 capture. I have one coming from Adam that I won on PF back in February. Pentax was horribly slow in getting the 50 to Adam so he could send it on to me. I look forward to using it. J

Hey guys,

I just bought myself an A50/1.7. It's not perfect -- it's aperture ring is occasionally jammed at f/8, but it serves my ticket to this club at least

K-50 body is arriving tomorrow. I can't wait to put this mighty lens on and try it out!

I already read the document. Since the auto aperture functions well, I'm not going to fix it. I don't plan on using the lens for macro anyway

And that is french courvoisier cognac* in the glass too...

*I recently turned 30, and a bottle of courvoisier VSOP cognac was given to me. I usually drink speyside whiskey but I have to admit this cognac is really good.

Lens is Xenon 50mm f2.0 on a Retina 111C. Rather that take up space with a cross post, some examples of this old lens can be found here:

The EXIF is wrong, this was shot with an A50 f1.7 @ 1/40sec, f2.8, ISO 6400. It was handheld while standing on an A/C unit to get far enough away to get the inlaws in the picture.

Okay. Just unboxed my new K-50. Here's a sample shot of my A50/1.7 at f/2.5. I was playing golf on a local highway.

Okay. I put a golf ball on a bottle of lotion. The background is just a random image I found online
Manual focusing is not that easy
