Nikkor AF-D 50mm f/1.4 - €299 (£259)
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - €327,50 (£283)
Sony 50mm f/1.4 - €329 (£285)
I can say Pentax is reasonably priced

They are very good since I know how hard it is to photograph them.
Do someone has some tips?

I assume they could fairly easily but they don't.

A question for you two, name a lens that is really a let down in the Pentax range and what Canon and Nikon has to offer against that.
Got a price list of Canon vs Pentax
We're talking about different lenses if you want more quality the the DA* and surely the K-7, D300 and 50D are in the same range since I don't believe many would put a $4000+ lens on a $1200 body

I believe that Nikon D300 or Canon 50D is not at such a top that only top optics justify the cost.
The DA* lenses are most of the time more then a match against other brands top glass, certainly at that price range (maybe not in the UK but here it is). Okay Pentax are missing some very long zooms and primes with f/4 or fast but have you seen the price of that glass?
The lens base of Pentax is for everyone accessible and for 90% more then enough. For the other 10% you will probable want FF camera anyway so don't see a problem at this point.

I think we can assume that the protective glass is made of that.The dominant use of stannous oxide is as a precursor in manufacturing of other, typically divalent, tin compounds or salts. Stannous oxide may also be employed as a reducing agent and in the creation of ruby glass.
ps. Stannous oxide = Tin oxide

You need to use Eclipse E2 link
It's because the new sensors have a TIN OXIDE coating or something, the normal eclipse harms that coating so far that I could understand.

where is the nikon list then,
This list came from a site and the price seems about right so go ahead and put Nikon beside them, we all know that Nikon isn't cheaper then Pentax and Canon.
At least no in the USA
