Fast, sharp 50mm F Series vintage lens from Pentax. John Riley reviews this easily adapted, widely available f/1.7 classic, sharing sample photos, MTF & CA performance charts along with his verdict of this standard length K mount lens.

This is not the Pentax K series prime, it is an economic version of that, ioptically different and not SMC.

The lens body is in very good condition, with minimal paint loss due to rubbing and 1 small scratch at the very rim of the hood. Excellent for its age.

The front glass is in excellent condition, with no coating loss or scratches. The back glass, however is scratched. See the photo. They are evident but a small number.

As far as I can, the lens results are as expected, so I doubt they are affecting it. Just like my CZJ 135mm F3.5 is scratched and still gives awesome results.
There as some small dust specks inside, but nothing major. No sign of fungus.
The lens comes with an original back cap, but no front cap. It comes in a case.
