Digital camera reviews of Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4 Lens
Digital camera Review: Best Prime Lens for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredibly fast versatile lens. There are few lenses at this price point that deliver such value. I've used this in low light situations (museums where flashes are forbidden) and with a flash for portrait shots. If you can hold out for another rebate from Pentax, it makes it more the bargain!Digital camera Review: the best

Summary: 4 Stars
This lens is not as good wide open as I had hoped, but it is still a very good lens for indoor, lowlight pictures without a flash. It performed well at a wedding I went to, and I was able to take informal pictures at a fairly low ISO setting without flash - appreciated by the guests, no doubt.Digital camera Review: The proof is in the photos
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't be happier with my Pentax 50mm lens and the proof is in the photos. It's worth every cent.Digital camera Review: bang for your buck...........
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me just say that theres a whole other pricepoint for pentax glass and gear than the big houses, just for reference, I'm coming from being a Nikon guy, my film kit got stolen, and so I'm getting into the digital scene fresh....I purchased a K10D, and have been sold ever since....now to the lens in question, the 50mm f/1.4 has been such an eye opening experience (pun?) I paid waaay under $200USD and got a ridiculously awesome prime lens, I had no idea that such quality could be had for such a low price.
Bokeh, I've seen the term used throughout various websites and reviews, and let say that I now know from experience what a creamy, smooth, out of focus backdrop, while your subject "pops" right off of the picture will do for your self esteem in photography. Absolutely lovely.....
Focus, is quick enough, yet I've found it hunts in low, or tricky light situtations....no biggie, if you need fast focusing, you're using another lens anyways.
I'm not going to get all technical on you, all I can say is that if you have been into Pentax for sometime, you already own this lens, if you're just geting into or are considering Pentax, please do, and make this prime a part of your kit.
Nuff' said.
