Per the 2021 Pentax lens tournament (The D FA* 50mm F1.4 is the Best Pentax Lens of All Time - Giveaways and Events | PentaxForums.com), the D FA* 50mm F1.4 is now the greatest Pentax lens of all time. As promised, we will be giving away a copy of this lens!

The giveaway will start in the coming days and the format will be similar to what we've done recently: you'll be able to claim one raffle entry per day by posting in a thread on the forum (after making a qualifying number of other posts that day).

After this giveaway ends, we'll start another featuring the Pentax K-70. Stay tuned!

Is that one of those limited silver 600?
it looks very impressive.

[Lhorn]

Wow. Nice prize.

[Cerebum]

I think you should limit entries to people who don't have the lens but really want it

And live in Lancaster, UK

With an elderly springer

And no camera budget



.....it was worth a try

Adam, is the rule prohibiting past winners from winning again still valid. Or since this is in 2021, a new decade, will we start over?

[Adam]

Yes, we will limit the grand prize to users who haven't won a grand prize within the past 5 years.

[pengxiao]

So. whomever receives this lens will not be eligible to receive cameras in the future next five years?

They wouldn't be eligible to receive a future grand prize through one of our raffles. However, photo contests and other events would still be fair game.

Thank you.

I already own something like five 50mm lenses, which are of limited value to someone who has "APS-C" cameras.
I would get limited utility from a modern "perfect" 50mm lens.
I enjoy your "raffles", even though I don't expect to actually receive anything, but I think this time I'll 'pass' since I would hate to accidentally 'win' this time and thereby disqualify myself from 'winning' in the future.
I usually post six or more times on an average day, and I won't slow down my pace just because of my decision not to 'compete'.

I managed to miss day one, so that reduced my chances of winning from almost zero to .... I appear to have backed myself into a corner here

Thirty chances would still give you a reason to hope {until the “drawing”} - more than you’d have if you don’t enter at all.

Another great contest and prize

Adam I think you have found the correct formula

I'm in it to win it *

* = consolation prize only

I never enter, expecting to win, in fact there have only been two prizes i really, really wanted, the K1 and the k3iii. I enter mostly for the fun of participating and hope the prize goes to someone I like and so far, most of them have
