Item for Sale
Pentax K 50mm F1.2 in superb condition

Asking Price
360.00 USD As low as it gets!

Item Location
Québec (Canada)

Item Description
I'm selling this superb copy of the K 50mm F1.2.

I got it recently, seeing how I like 50mm more and more now that I use a K-1. I do not find myself needing the extremely wide aperture, however, and I really do prefer AF. My loss is your gain.

The price is pretty firm, recent history shows my listed price is the selling price for the last several transactions. Paypal fees are included.

I'll ship anywhere, at cost.

Look at the pictures and drop me a PM!

Here it is next to the 50 F1.4, just for comparison.

I hope Ricoh will release an AF version of this lens

A little bump for the new year!

Looks tempting... I might return my 28-105 for this.
How is the close-up capabilities?

It focuses up to 45cm which is identical to every other 50mm I own (M50 F1.4, F50 F1.7, FA50 F1.4). so it the best close-up 50 you'll get except for a macro.

It's really a fantastic lens, regarding its max aperture, and this one is in stellar shape

A bump for this beauty!

**bobbotron** · 01-11-2017, 12:28 PM

Gorgeous lens, looks like it's in great shape!

You should try an SMC m42 55 1.8 on the K1, one of my favourite lenses, probably the first lens I'd try on the K1.

Good luck with sale!

bdery · 01-17-2017, 01:52 PM

Some interest but no commitment so far, so another bump is in order.

bdery · 01-31-2017, 05:38 AM

Another bump for this superb lens!

I couldn't help but notice that you are selling it with one of those accursed fits-only-in-one-orientation Sigma lens caps.

Regarding the SMC-K 50mm f/1.2 close focusing capability:

It's pretty good when stopped down, I wouldn't advise using it wide open at MFD though.

I probably have a push-on cap somewhere if that's the only issue

pathdoc · 01-31-2017, 06:29 PM

If I didn't already have Ricoh's 55mm f/1.2 P lens...

Why not get both and compare?

**pres589** · 02-03-2017, 09:26 AM

I like that the Sigma caps cover the entire mounting flange unlike most others that work on a k-mount. Don't like the one orientation only issue of course.

As long as they prioritize the MF ring performance over AF speed (long throw, smooth and tight), because you're gonna need it.
