My dream, my hidden wish, is to have this lens simply because it's the best lens ever made with f/1.4 even if in APS-S sensors its not a true nifty-fifty.
I am mostly a "Limited" pentaxian, having almost all the collection save for the 21 or the 77 that my 20-40 and the 70 Limiteds fill in.
I love low light - razor sharp shooting and my "peasant" option was my latest purchase of a Pentax-A 50/1.2. The DA* 55/1.4 is just not IT!
IF there is a European photographer that is retiring or has it's own reasons and wishes to bliss a young blood please PM me. With bliss I mean a divine price.
Not to mention that my sweet wife will mumify me for household hubris if I annouce her that I purchased a 1000 euro/$ lens just for my OMG feelings.
Yes, money and logic is an issue. I just can't afford to purchase my secret love at market prices even second handed.
I live in Athens Greece and for non-EU packages we pay some 40% on top of the purchase price in customs and duties etc.
