FS: Nokton 58mm f1.4 SLii - Boxed, Excellent - PKA fit with Original Hood
1. f2.0
2. f1.4
3. f4.0
4. f1.4
5. f1.4
The lavender shots have some backlighting which the lens handles quite well - when at maximum aperture there is a slight glow around highlight areas (which I haven't tried to "correct"), there is also a slight tendency to "purple fringe" in some situations (common for many fast, quality lenses). There is no added sharpening on any of these, just a little shadow/highlight and exposure adjustment
You certainly make a compelling case for the DFA 21mm and DFA 50mm lens combination in your photos, but I'd be lost without the Voigtlander 58mm.
A note for any potential purchasers: the lens hood is worth having with this lens as it helps to improve contrast, especially in bright light. The hood is also not that easy to find as it was an expensive accessory when new,
Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.
K5 with auto-everything lenses
A collection of manual primes to keep me in touch with the pleasures of doing it old-school.
A beautiful piece of engineering worth keeping even if only for the simple pleasure of ownership and they are becoming extremely difficult to find in Pentax mount as owners don't care to part with them.
Enjoy the rest of the week folks.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!
Sorely tempted by this on full-frame.
Temptation is there but I’ve just bought a Nokton 40mm f/1.2 for my Sony so probably out of the question
Hello, my note comes from Baltimore, Maryland! Please let me know if it doesn't sell in UK. Thanks!
Hi, I know you appreciate the top end lenses (did you get yourself an A50/1.2 in the end?) - but if it doesn't sell in the UK it'll blend back into the collection, Sorry
I gave it a little outing this afternoon (a little family gathering) and as a smaller and lighter alternative to the D FA*50/1.4 it is actually very impressive.

Wise decision. I'm pleased for you.

IMO it produces nicer results than the Pentax 50/1.2 lenses, but it's not quite up to the level of the DFA*50/1.4 - so it's probably time to move on (and not regret this time!!!!)...
So, this copy is in excellent condition. It's boxed and has the original Voigtlander hood (also boxed) - I'll put some photos up if anyone is interested :
