Hello all!

Ok, rather cheap lens, but is it good? What do you think about it? I cant find information about that model.

Thank you!

Here's its entry in the lens DB: SMC Pentax 50mm F1.4 Reviews - K Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

It's pretty good, yeah. They made many cheaper versions back in the old days (the F1.7 and F2 variants produced as part of the M and A series), so this one should be considered to be a higher-end 50mm.

Here's a list of all of Pentax's K-mount 50mm lenses, so have fun doing your research!

Someone took apart that lens and had trouble doing it. If you look at the photos of the front, they drilled two holes in the trim ring where the lettering should say the name of the lens. (The paint is all missing here too.) That part is supposed to unscrew smoothly. The rest of the lens looks OK but the front looks terrible. They might have successfully repaired something or not. I would avoid that lens, get a steep discount on price or insist on a no-questions return policy.
