Pros: Sharp, excellent bokeh and colors
Cons: Secondary FTL metering pin
Sharpness: 9    Aberrations: 8    Bokeh: 9    Handling: 8    Value: 9    Camera Used: Pentax K-5   

Affordable yet a lens I've seldom seen in anything other than OM mount. There is a secondary pin located outside of threads that is for metering purposes with FTL camera. I had to file the pin down as flush as possible, even so, following the advice from another Lens Thread, I had to make a sort of double gasket out of two folded double index cards so the lens would tighten down snugly and stay in the m42 adapter on my K-5. Worth the extra effort as the lens produces excellent bokeh, sharpness and colors.
There is a little switch on the side of mine for switching from auto to manual aperture. The aperture ring is flush with the camera mount so a bit tricky stopping down but do-able.
The Olympus F Zuiko 50mm F1.8 is definitely worth buying and the little adjustments.
