If you can stretch a bit further the Sigma f1.4 50mm is a stunner. It is a bigger lens but has stunning IQ.
I will check the sigma lens out, thank you

Excuse my ignorance, will this lens fit my kr model and function as my other lenses do.

Thanks

I have the 1.4 and it's lovely. You'll get some purple fringing wide open, but this is common with very fast lenses. quite soft wide open anyway, I rarely use it at 1.4, more likely to be at 2.2 or 2.8 Where it's a gem. No quick focus on the FAs
Haven't tried the DA, but there's one here
Thanks very much for the prompt reply, most helpful.
Got to say I do fancy the 1.4 fast lens

Cheers

Apologies if this has been asked before (I am sure it has but can't find it)

I am looking to buy a budget portrait lens for my kr model.
The lenses I was looking at are the
50mm FA f1.4 cost around £221 lenshero
50mm SMC DA f1.8 around £116 John Lewis
35mm SMC DA f2.4 around £112 lenshero

Anyone used these lenses?
Any other lenses that I should look at?

Appreciate any feedback or advice on what to go for.
Many thanks
Bobby

Like the price of the 50mm lens from jessops equiv (F.2.4) F1.7 I think on old 35mm
What is the price of the F.1.4 lens?

thanks

Thank you guys, most helpful, for some reason my original post was chopped off, all info was not included. budget was less than £300 and looking for a lens better than F.2.8 and should I stick with pentax.
Dangermouse, where can I buy one of these lenses for £150 sounds just the job for me
thank you once again
Bobby
