I've been jonesing for a 1.2 for a bit over a year now. On one level, I don't understand why Pentax doesn't dust off the A 50/1.2, put an autofocus motor on it and sell that. On the other hand, if sensor speed follows Moore's law, doubling every 18 months, f/1.4 to f/1.2 is about one year's worth of sensor development. -- Photographs are like sentences, the best ones have both subjects and verbs.
