Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.4 This lens blew me away when I first got it. Being able to shoot outdoors at night on ISO 1600 is outstanding. It is a perfect match with the Pentax k-3 especially because of its SR. I don't know why people would give this anything short of a 10 for sharpness, because on my 24mp pentax k-3, it is sharp up to 100% crop. The lens does have some aberrations, but this is easily fixable in Lightroom. Bokeh is outstanding, although the lens is very hard to focus without a split prism focusing screen. Then again it's f1.4 so that's kinda what you get. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone, although someday I may upgrade to the 50mm a 1.2. I actually bought this lens with a Pentax k-2 for a total of $100, which explaines the tiny price tag. |
