Exciting lens with amazing bokeh, but overpriced.......2007-11-12
This is really an amazing lens with "retro" design. It comes with a nice leather bag. The lens feels great in hands, operation is smooth. I liked also the built-in retracting hood. The original cap is metal (as seen in some old lenses) and it sits on the hood itself (not on the front part of the lens, as usually). But there is absolutely no problem in using filters with this lens. Even if you put a screw-in filter of a standard thickness, the cap is long enougth to attach safely to the hood.
The large maximum aperture allows you shooting indoors with available light.
The bokeh of this lens is absolutely gorgeous. You have to see it! An excellent lens for head portraits. And it is good for 35 mm format too.
I did not give 5 starts to this product mainly because the lens I have received has a "bug". The aperture shape is visibly far from ideal at f/22 and this imperfection can still be seen at f/16. Ok, I know that this is not really affecting the image quality, and I will hardly ever shoot at f/22 or even at f/16. But I was disappointed to see such problem in the prime product. Well, the price tag certainly sets yout expectations high.
What I do not know for sure, if this was a manufacturing defect, or something went wrong during shipping. But in either case it is not good.
I prefer to buy lenses in stores for this reason, at least it is possible to see/check before buying. But I had no choice in this case.
Another observation (much less important to me) is purple fringing in high contract situations when shooting at large apertures. It is only visible from wide open till f/3.5 in most cases. I can live easily with this.
The lens focuses rather slowly (but acurately) with both my K10D and *istDs.
My opinion (whatever other people may say) is that the lens is quite overpriced.
And the last comment... Could be good if Pentax include a sort of "certificate of authenticity " with their Limited lenses. Not just the standard S/N card. The same goes to the manual, which shows the FA 50 mm lens on the cover page. It is a small thing, but when selling prime products the company should pay attention to such small things.
Thanks for reading!
