I'm strongly considering to get myself a 77 1.8 ltd. I would
appreciate some info on it, since local Pentax didn't even seem to
know it existed before I started asking about it.
One crucial aspect to me, other than its availability in black :-)
is: what does it feel like to manual focus? How does its MF compare
to, say, a 50mm 1.4? How big is the throw on the focus ring? How well
is it damped? Does the front rotate as you focus or not?
And since I do a lot of low-light high-contrast stage shots: how
effective is its' built-in hood? How far does the hood project before
the front element? Is it circular or one of those cutesy tulip shaped
ones that are totally inappropriate to primes?
There are none in the country, so I'll have to have it imported and
I'd hate to inconvenience them by returning it due to design flaws I
could have found out about here.
