As per the quoted post in this thread here If someone is looking for the rare green coated version of this lens, I'm ready to part with mine on this forum market. The lens obviously transmits more light than the regular 43mm Limited and is very hard to find.

Thanks for the link.

The barrel looks very similar to Contax Tessar T* 45/2.8. I am wondering if Pentax have also used the same optical formula as Contax Tessar 45mm.

I never said I want this lens. The reason I posted this is that I found this interesting as a fact (fact: Pentax made a 43mm Limited/Special for Leica mount) and others might find it also interesting. That's all. :)

Cheers.

I meant for Pentax to design a K-mount rangefinder. I guess it would be very hard because of the K-mount lens register to the sensor/film, but still it is a dream camera for me.
Just a imagine a small Leica look rangefinder with a Pentax pancake.. how cool is that?! :)

If they ever manage to produce this, I gues it will sell... umm.... like hot pancakes:) and they will definitely sell a lot of pancakes:)

WOW, it is much cooler in silver!!!

Did you notice that it says Special instead of Limited? :)

I wish Pentax could make a digital rangefinder and use those beautiful pancakes. But that's another story :(

Did you know that Pentax designed the 43mm f/1.9 for Leica initially? I heard a story that Pentax wanted to show Leica and designed the 43m f/1.9 for Leica mount and I was not sure how true it is.
But now there is a proof:

Pentax f. Leica Screw mount 1,9/43mm SMC Pentax-L Speci - eBay (item 370060229277 end time Jun-19-08 13:22:41 PDT)
