Originally posted by logomancer This is my latest acquisition -- a Pentax-M 50mm f/4 Macro lens that I found mint in the box at the local camera store for $75. Against my better judgement, I snapped it up, and it takes some awesome pics. :-)
I found my Pentax M 50mm F4 macro on a local CL listing and it came in a plastic bag . . .
If you didn't already know, it doesn't take awesome pictures but you do. However, it will provide you with particularly super sharp images - provided that is what you want. I tested mine using it on my Pentax K20D - as well as on my Pentax LX using Kodak Techpan. Based on the results, my not so mint in a box copy is not going to be the reason I cannot fully resolve a scene as sharply as I can possibly get it if that is my intent. So go out there and let that Pentax Macro lens enable you to take the sharpest pics you want . . .
