Got this lens off Ebay for $19.99 (plus shipping) and I got the Pentax-M 50 f/2 for $45.00 from Amazon, naturally I opted for this one as it was nearly half the cost. I am glad I got this lens. IQ is superior my Pentax DA 18-55, my Sigma 28-300, and I think sharpness rivals even that of my Sigma 21-35. Flaring is a bit of a problem, but with some PP that is fixable. Maybe people say that you need to remove the little brass pin to keep it from getting stuck on Pentax K mount cameras. I have not had this problem, but then again, I do have the one that was assembled in China. I love the full manual aspect of this lens. f/1.7-2.8 is very usable, but a bit soft for my taste, f/5.6-8 if flawless, boka is.. interesting. Very fast lens, can shoot low ISO and high shutter speed, I haven't gone above f/8 so, EXIF data isn't a big deal for me to determine. |
