Kris, I have to disagree with you on this, at least in regards to IQ. I have 3 copies of the Pentax 50/1.2 lenses and while they are a bit dreamy wide open, when stopped down a bit they are very good - as good as or better than my Pentax 50/1.4 lenses, especially when considering rendering. As to cost, no argument there - they are very pricey today. They are beautifully made examples of the lensmakers' art from the era before "plastic fantastic" became the order of the day, and as a collector I'm glad to have them. Of course YMMV… Regards, Jim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
