Cleaned recently by Cameratiks (Edinburgh), this lens is in great condition.

As you all know, it has beautiful soft bokeh wide open and then sharps as you go down. I believe the F1.7 is sharper at F2-F2.8, but this gives you an edge on an F1.7 because the F1.7 can't quite capture the effect of the bokeh at F1.4.

The lens comes in a pouch with original pentax cap and generic back cap and two Jessops filters (UV + Polariser).

Glass is very clean with some tiny specks.

Don't have an acrylic so can't make the best of this shot.

I can't believe there are no takers for this!
If I didn't already have one, I'd take his hand off! - What's the matter with you people?!
No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.

just bought a Pentax 55mm f1.8. Arriving the next two days. Otherwsie i wouldhave bought this cos I was looking for a great portrait lens. Plenty 50mm 1.7 on ebay but i prefer to buy off forum members for obvious reasons.

I was tempted even though I have got an FA version! Maybe I'd prefer that lovely well-damped MF to AF?

Just as well someone else is buying because I can't really afford any more lenses at the mo.

Looking at the images I was tempted too, it looks stunning but.....no more spending for the moment

I already have M42, K, M and A series 50mm/55mm lenses in a mixture of f/2, f/1.8, f/1.7, f/1.4 and f/1.2 varieties. I didn't really need another one.

I'm waiting for something in the 100mm macro bracket in the freebie giveaway...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
