SMC PENTAX–FA 1:1.4 50mm PRIME LENS FOR PENTAX DSLR
Can anyone confirm if it will fit and work with AF, flash etc on my Pentax Kx?
Thanks
I never got along with the 50mm focal length on APS-C cameras like the K-x. It's just a little too long for indoor shots. If your taking a picture, for example, across a table, you'll end up with a tight head shot.
For me, the DA40 F2.8 Limited is a more useful focal length. Plus it's tiny and reputed to be one of the fastest focusing lenses Pentax has. I wouldn't worry about the F1.4 vs F2.8 with your K-x, since you can easily boost the ISO to 3200 with that camera - suitable for all but the darkest situations, i.e., dinner by candlelight.
