I bought this lens mainly for portrait shots where I need bright and affordable lens. The lens performs great. fast focusing and very sharp. It's wide aperture allows me to shoot decent portrait shots even in low light situations. Focusing is great and always on the spot. Compact form factor matches great with my K-r. Hard to say how it compares to other products since I haven't used other 50mm lenses but this is definitely a great prime lens for its price.
Great sharp lens, when it's in focus. Manual focus is a challenge. Very difficult to Auto Focus on a Pentax K-7. It eventually gets there with a lot of whirring back and forth until the camera finally finds an optimal focus and then releases the shutter. Otherwise,a typically well built Pentax lens
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The best Pentax standard lens ever use! Just buy it. You can view a test on photozone.de and see what I mean.
This was a little more expensive than my budget could afford for a 50mm f1.4 however, the picture quality is exceptionally clear, and the auto focus is great also. I'm now happy that I didn't go with a slower lens at a cheaper price.
Pentax SMC FA 50mm F1.4 is an excellent lens for photographers who work in low light or need a good background separation of the subject but will not make compromises on quality. Recommended for portraits, Photo-reportage and many other applications.The objective has a solid construction and an enviable quality optics provide sharp picture, very nice colors and contrast, superb separation of subject background bokeh enviable one.
