recently, while doin some kind of GRAND cleaning in my appartment I found my old Pentax A 50mm /f1.7 lens back
Someone probably tried to hide it from me thinkin I've got too many babies already
I couldnt find it since about a year and I was thinkin about buyin another one when I discovered she was lying in a box with some kitchen tools that I rarely use
I remember I bought this lens as part of a Pentax ME and 2 lens package, this 50mm and a Tokina 35-70mm which was not bad. The deal was 50€ I guess, and Im very glad of the way this Fifty render pictures on the K1.
It's rather soft @/f1.7 but super sharp @/f2.8 and perfectly usable @/f2.
My daugter's pics was wide open, the Bridge and the Sunlight @/f22 and ISO 800 (wanted to see the star effect on this lens) and the Mosquee was taken @/f4, ISO 100.
I tried the Pentax magnification Eyecup to help with focus accuracy but as Im wearing glasses it's not convenient to use as you loose a big part of your framing view, still it's works great with focus accuracy.
