Pentax stopped production of the FA50mm f/1.4 some time ago, and 'new' (unused) units are getting rare.
It is such a great lens, I dare say there will be good trading in the used market for years to come, especially since Pentax has no direct replacement. The new lens, DFA 50mm f/2.8 Macro isn't quite the same.
But I doubt it will have much collector value, as the rarity value is not there.
Thousands of FA50's were sold over the years, and I'm pretty sure most of them are still in working condition. Its just that most owners seem to prefer to keep them.
