Paul,
did you get my email about deciding to just buy both?
It'll probably be the best mistake I make all week.

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.
