I'm a long time Canadian Pentaxian, from the prairies.

Lived both in Manitoba and Alberta. Bought my first Pentax ...an S1a ...new in 1968. Still have it.

I've also got an ES 11, bought new in '75, a K1000....my wife's...she bought it in '81. Digital I have a K10D, Km and a K-5, plus a wide range of Pentax lenses and one lonely Sigma.

Aside from the Pentax equipment I also have Leica, Mamiya, Olympus and Canon. The Canon is difital....the rest film.

I'll be getting the Nifty Fifty in a short while - would be happy if more Canadians wanted to try it before it moves on. See this thread

I've got a Pentax 50mm F 1.4 and a 50 mm F 2.8 Macro. Like 'em both.

Also still have my old manual focus Takumars....one a 55mm F 2 (bought in '68) came with my Pentax S1a.....also my 50 mm F 1.8 Takumar....bought with my Pentax ES 11 (bought in '74)....and a 50 mm F 4 Takumar Macro....bought in the '80's or early '90's.

Bokeh and clarity on all these fifties...excellent.

I rather like the 50mm on Pentax crop (1.54x) now as it is the same perspective as the 77mm would have been on film, and makes for nice environmental portraits.
