| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-F 50mm F2.8 Macro
I recently traded this lens for the big sister F-100 2.8. And I’m pleased that the 100 behaves in a similar way.
The only reason I traded it was because I had to many 50’s and not much above that focal length.
This is beyond sharpness itself, even at f 2.8. The bookeh is one of the softest you can get.
Once you grab it you will fell that that thing is mostly metal and glass — really built like a tank!
Auto focus is surprisingly fast and accurate, even with its long focus throw.
Works well as a "normal" lens, with the con of being bigger and heavier than a 50 1.7 or 1.4.
This was one of the first pictures taken with it, even my dog behaves nicely when this lens was around.

Another plus of this lens is that it might as well be the most beautiful lens of the F-Series:
