| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7
I take about 5 thousands photos with this lens on my old K200D body. Very time it was good replacement for kit version II. Small, compact. Few times I use cap and jacket to get them with me. It is very comfortable to get them with you. It is very nice ring for aperture. Manual focusing if you have good eyes is not a problem. Marks are good and without trouble you can use them to get information about distance etc.
Quality of pictures is amazing for this price (I get it from second hand). If you get sharp image you can take excellent bokeh and photo with F1.7. You have a lot of fun with DoF if you undestund how them use allright. In low light condition my old K200D get new life with them. I use them a lot of with warmer Tiffen 49mm 80A filter. It was duo working very well. I take shot on small rain, mountains, fogs and len work well.
If you look for portrait lens it is for you. It has nice 50mm to use. Extreme constrast what no deal with this lens. My 77 limeted sometimes make me purple edges. On my old 50 it was not possible. Direct sunlight it was not problem. Small filter size, small weight and limited like build quality is why I recommended this lens.
Overall 9/10 is because 77 limited is sharper and is manual focus what sometimes makes troubles in dynamic situations like kids. |
