| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4
I'm very satisfied with this lens. I have bought it few years ago and used it with my K10D. Unfortunately the autofocus was very unaccurate, so it was unable to use it wide open. Bud the price at that time was simply wonderful :cool:
As long as I have K-30 I am very happy with this piece of glass. AF is very accurate now and if you stop it down to f1.8 or f2.0 even the sharpness increases to better values. The aperture has only 6 blades, so the bokeh is not as smooth as it could be. If you stop it only a little, the blades are only partly visible and your bokeh is still good enough. Nowadays it is my favourite portrait lens and moreover in combination with high ISO of K-30 you are able to take pictures in very hard conditions. |
