It is. A Pentax-F 50mm 1.4 will probably sell above 200 USD (It's supposed to be among the very best 50mm ever made on this planet). The 50mm F.1:1.2 lens is quite rare and very vaulable. Optically it's said to be quite soft wide open. Perhaps more valuable for collectors than for photographers. I'd prefer a 1.4 lens any day. Regards
