I really liked the DA50mm and the only reason I got rid because I had the F 50mm 1.4 and the 1.4 just had the speed advantage but I actually preferred the bokeh from the DA50.

You can see some comparisons and shots in this set

Anyone in your family have diabetes? Ask them for one of their lancets works a treat and then put the cap on and keep it in your camera bag

Buy a K-5II or K-50 SLR in the PENTAX Winter Cashback Promotion and claim up to £85 cash back.

Guess not...

Thanks tim

The point I was raising is would the af even work with a 1.4 teleconverter?

A 1.4 would also only make a 420mm f/5.6 lens this length and speed is virtually already covered by Sigma and has HSM and would probably have better IQ too.
