Review on SMC Pentax FA πŸ“· 50mm f/1.4: Exceptional Low-Light Photography Lens by Andrey Mihailov (And ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

I bought a camera with a whale lens, a month later I bought this one, the difference is like between a Zhiguli and a Mercedes. If there is no money for Limited - take this one. Got pros: I have been using it for three years as a staff member on the K-5II. Very good color reproduction, beautiful bokeh, on an open hole the pattern is very soft, starting at 3.2 the pattern is sharp, from 5.6 it is very sharp. The picture quality is slightly inferior to lims. Small size and weight. Ideal for staff, suitable for 90% of cases. The relatively low price is not due to low quality, but due to the huge number of lenses of this model sold. Different cons: In bright light and open aperture, it draws purple halos around bright objects. There is no hood included.
