Subject: Lens Question A50/1.2
Hi ... I've used a few A series lenses and, except for the A* series, many
have come across as lighter weight and more plastic and cheap in their
construction. My standards have always been the Super Taks through the
K-mounts. I like their feel and solidity. I'm thinking of getting an
A50/1.2 to replace my K version. How do the two compare? Does the A
version have the smooth focusing and solid build quality of the K mounts
and the A* lenses? Thanks!
I quite like my A50/1.2 now.
It's not as nice feeling as the K lenses that I own (I don't have a
K50/1.2).
The focus is very nice, the aperture isn't as nice as the K lenses, but is
nicer than the cheap A lenses.
Not the sharpest lens wide open, though better than my Nikkor 50/1.2 had
been, but it tightens up very nicely stopped down a stop or two.
