Latest Review Posted	Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm F1.8 Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8 concave front element 42mm Pentax Screw Mount Has a reputation superior to Leica Summitar f/2 and Summicron f/2 first generation. Depth of field button on lens must be held to use lens stopped down. I owned this lens in 1970 on a Zeiss Icarex 35s TM PRO that I owned till 1979. Nostalgia set in over the summer and I decided to look for one. After a 2 month search I found one. My plan was to use it on the Icarex film camera. Thant did not last long. So it seemed the easiest way to use the lens and test it was on a pentax digital camera with 42mm adapter. I settled on the K-X. Well this lens is amazing. I blew away the standard SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL But I had nothing to else compare it to. So I bought a few lenses to compare. Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.4 SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7 SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.4 SMC Pentax-FA 50mm F1.7 Well it blows them all away. Now it's a shelf queen.
