Algernon, did I say I was moaning? And it what word in the English language did you detect moaning? It's a forum mate with open discussion about Pentax and one of the major discussions at the moment is the excitement for the Pentax FF. Anyway, interesting comments about the sensor. If it performs like the K10 did back in its day compared to the models of that time I will be happy for sure

If it looks like a moan ...... sounds like a moan ...... it is a moan ..... even though it's about something that doesn't exist
Sadly the moaners have destroyed Pentax..... Flagship/top models such as the K-5iiS are being sold new for £350. SH gear is hard to sell or goes for about half of what it used to. This forum has shrunk from what it used to be.
Anyone looking in to buy a camera will quickly get the impression that Pentax aren't very good...... Even the new FF is no good because it uses a 2 year old sensor in the non-existent model.

I found that having my left shoelace undone made a bigger difference than than if the sensor was ccd-or-cmos

Exactly the same as my findings. The A 50 1.4 is as sharp as the excellent A 50 1.7 and I've seen some really good shots from it on Sony FF.Pentax FA 50 1.4 I had 2 copies of this and was dissapointed with both which is strange as my A 50 1.4 is great.
I can't see any point in having an FA 50 1.4.

This lens should be sold for parts only. It looks to have been well and truly butchered and it's hard to believe that metal filings aren't floating about inside the lens. They could easily migrate into the camera causing damage.
It still has all the electrical contacts which indicate to the camera that parts that have been chopped off are still present creating the possibility of mechanical damage to the camera itself.
Looks like an ebay job.

The same case is used for the 1.4x TC. I have the TC and the case measures 105mm x 70mm. My 43mm lens fits it OK. So we both need
spare cases off a TC?
Edit: I've just ordered the 40mm case for £9. I'll let you know the dims
when it arrives. The diam. has to be the same.

Just received the 40mm case. It's only 72mm x 70mm so too small for the 43mm plus hood. It will take the 1.4x TC so I might swap the cases over or use this case for my Pentax-A 1.4x-S TC.According to this site....

The design of these cases could be a lot better. Canon used to do some black suede pouches with velcro fastenings and a small plastic covered window to insert a label with the lens name on it. They took filters, hoods etc. as well as the lens. Now as rare as hen's teeth, but I still have a few that I use for Pentax-K lenses.

The Ephotozone Test Shots look very poor at the edges
I'm sure that won't stop people calling it an excellent lens ......
It hasn't done so in the past
Come to think of it..... Is there any lens that Pentax users don't call
excellent?

As Ken Rockwell says about 36MP in the D810 "for nutjobs who actually think they need 36 megapixels, while the D750 is what most people, including myself, really want."
