FS SMC Pentax A 50mm f1.4 (great example)

I kept this lens after making a transition to mirrorless but sadly it has not been used much so needs to find a new home. Coming complete with Pentax front and rear lens caps, the lens is in lovely condition and works perfectly. No fungus, dents or scratches. Cosmetically superb and has only minor dust inside as expected with a lens of this age (and has no impact on image quality).

About as good an example as you are likely to find, and given it is an A rather than M mount allowing use of the Auto exposure modes in the camera, it works well as a portrait lens on APSC and is perhaps more likely to be useful (and maintain its value) if Pentax do bring out their FF at some point!










Priced sensibly at £80 including insured postage within the UK. I'll happily quote for shipping abroad. PayPal (buyer pays fees) or bank transfer are fine.

Please PM with any questions.

Cheers,

Jon

Bump! Super fast lens in great condition at a great price.....great when adapted for mirrorless cameras too, esp if they have focus peaking. A perfect portrait lens for m43?

Many Thanks

Received on Saturday - very well packed (in a 4/3rds lens box ) and very clean. Seems to work OK but not really tried it out yet.

Regards

Now you know why I haven't kept it

I held on to it for a while because I thought it would make a great portrait lens on m43 - indeed it does, esp with focus peaking - but laziness means the mZuiko 45/1.8 usually wins. Pity the mZ isn't built to the same high standards as that lovely Pentax lens though....

I'm glad someone bought this as I've been resisting since I first saw it. I don't need another 50/1.4.
