Perhaps you should also compare prices of the 50/1.4 s before jumping to conclusions?
There's a reason why the Canon 50/1.8II is cheaper.... plastic bayonet (would they really do that on a prime? - yes) .... As I said, ugly surprises.... You're going to wish you bought the 1.4 anyway.... Chris L. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/02 08:37AM >>> Not quite - The Canon 50mm 1.8 standard lens is $150 CDN @ a number of retailers. The Pentax 50mm 1.7 standard lens is $270 CDN @ the same retailers. I too have been considering a switch so that's the reason for the "price check" on the items mentioned but I'm waiting it out till after Photokina :) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: Frantisek Vlcek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 14:19:06 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Pentax flashes / changing platforms <snip> Their (Canon) primes are quite more expensive, the EOS 1.8/50 costs about as much as a 1.4/50 from pentax IIRC. </snip> -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
