This price allmost makes me not want to win the K-1

**robbiec** · 06-29-2018, 04:23 AM

Pre-ordered. Now to mention it to the wife!

Large Dutch online retailer Cameranu also has it: Pentax HD D-FA 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW objectief | CameraNU.nl

Better order it in Europe when the Pound price is the same number as the Euro price (1062 pounds at the current exchange rate).

Also pre-ordered, trouble will be keeping my wife from using it on her KP...

Waiting for the first user reviews and the good numbers on the lottery.

I won't buy it, the DA*55 is perfect for now.

Sorry ... too expensive; yes, F1.4, but more expensive than FA 77 1.8....no way

veato · 06-29-2018, 05:32 AM

Hmmm. I think the DA 50 1.8 is more in my price range

I will be sticking to my FA 50 f/1.7 for an AF fast 50.

Good luck with that...

At best, expect the price to increase by 20% for a few weeks before being 'reduced'

To be fair, so is the FA* 85/1.4... used.
