Which lens is better Pentax 50mm 1:2 Rikenon 50mm F2.0

Why only consider those two? By all accounts, the M50/1.7 is considerably better than the M50/2, not hard to find at all, and not that much more expensive.

Bingo. I have the Rikenon P 50mm 1:1.7.

Why go with an f 2 when you can get a f1:1.7 for cheap?

My little lens is solid as a rock.
