I want it, but I just don't have the money to pay for it, so I'm just
going to have to let it go.

Thanks, Stan. I will offer it on ebay in a couple of days if no one here wants
it.

I have a 50/1.2 that I bought ($500 if IRC) severe years ago from some random
eBayer. I will totally vouch for this lens’ quality and would jump for a chance
to buy Paul’s if I didn’t already have a copy.

The A 50/1.2 is to the best of my knowledge, the fastest of all the Pentax
50mm lenses. It’s also one of the sharpest wide open, within its very narrow
DOF. That lends it to all manner or entertaining work, where one desires only a
single point be in hard focus. This particular copy has been in the list family
for decades. If memory serves me, I purchased it from Gianfranco and I believe
he obtained it from another list member. I used it only twice, and each time
carefully returned it to its original box, complete with packing and both
original lens caps. As far as I can tell, it remains in like new condition. I
think I paid $500 plus shipping for it some time ago. I’ll let it go for $400
plus shipping. My wife and I are moving to a smaller house and I have to clear
out some of my photo equipment. Would love to see it stay in the list family.
The below pics include a window light portrait of my wife taken with the A
50/1.2 at f 1.2. I focused on her left eye, and it is critically sharp,
although everything else is soft.
