These older "prime lenses" are pretty cheap used and work fine on new Pentax DSLR cameras. They offer the professional look of a shallow depth of field, attractive bokeh, and the clarity that a simpler lens offers over the zoom stuff. In addition to that - it captures more light thanks to a f2.0. That means more detail and less noise in lower light. it's my first prime lens but it's easy to use. Just set your f stop and focus manually. The results are instantaneous, rewarding and build confidence.
This is a really good lightweight lens for macro and normal use. It is great for flowers (probably not so much for bugs because of its 50 mm focal length). I like the lock feature because it allows the use of the catch-in-focus feature on the Pentax cameras.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought used in very good condition with no marks on body and glass. Very hard to find. Only few can be seen on Ebay per year. Metal body, heavy but feels solid and comfortable on camera body. Fast and close focusing, good for close-ups. Manual focusing ring is a little bit loose. Some purple fringing can be seen when opened. Have not seen any vignetting nor distortion. Corners are very good. In my opinion very good piece of glass.
Fits perfectly to my Pentax K100D Super, very nice to allow me to do all the manual adjustments and record digitally, delete the ones that don't work out. Nice compact lens, very bright images, depth of field is short so that allows nice crisp portraits with soft background and foreground.
Best protrait lens after the 50mmf1.4. I use manual in my portrait sessions, so I do not care for the autofocus version. I can control this one. This is underrates lens because it is only half step below the f1.7. You can save lot of mony buying this prime lens. I recommend it.
