Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.4 I'm new to vintage lenses, and this is the first one I bought - and am very happy with it. Light weight, great bokeh at 1.4, very easy to handle.
Only con I can think of has nothing to do with the particular lens - I learned the hard way that the depth of field is so narrow at 1.4, sometimes just a few inches, that one has to be very precise at focusing (used a chipped PK-EOS adapter with a single focus point, which was very helpful, because camera beeps when focus is reached). The main challenge is when shooting more than one person - must remember to close shutter a bit, to get a deeper depth of field. |
