It has been a few months since I bought a Pentax 50mm f1.4 lens, the first fixed focal length SLR lens in my arsenal. Of course, the first thing I feel is how different, if not downright difficult, it is to shoot my way, especially when my everyday lens is the now largely discontinued Pentax 18250mm. But that discomfort quickly dissipated once I started figuring out what kind of lens it was. well in. The impressive aperture and the shallow depth of field it offers are simply amazing. He turned many ordinary shots into masterpieces, at least in my eyes. In portrait photography, a large aperture allows me to to capture the smallest changes in my subject's emotions. Their rapid change in facial expression is only visible with a high-speed lens. This is especially true when photographing family gatherings or parties. After all, not everyone has the privilege of repeatedly asking a model to post their cam. On the bad side of history, Pentax raised the price a few years ago. When similar Canon and Nikon lenses sell for $200, the $400 comparison doesn't seem too logical. That price ultimately begs the question that has haunted me all along: is the 55mm f1.4 the best deal for the money? Pentax raised the price a few years ago.
