Interesting you should say that as the aperture ring feels very knotchy, can anyone with an fa 50 say whether this is normal?

Oggy: thanks for that

Lens does seem to be performing fine. Small amount of movement in the aperture ring but not enough to explain the noise.

Doik: how can i get access to the rear element locking ring, there doesnt seem to be any easy way?

Will keep poking around to see whats happening.

Thanks for the help

Hi, Definitely the lens, was almost caught out by the SR but the rattle persists when the lens is not mounted, and even with the aperture actuator held in place.

Sound still present when mounted, and appears o be internal as i cant stop it by holding any part of the lens while shaking it.

Any help would be much appreciated

Just noticed that my Pentax-FA 1:1.4 50mm rattles slightly when shaken lengthways. The rattle happens regardless of aperture setting.

Is this normal or is something amiss?

Thanks

Hi, thanks. The first one was shot at 21.9mm. Was using a pretty heavily diffused flash in a few of the shots but i think that all one ones i uploaded are just with the stage lights and some pp to bring back anything too dark/bright.

Hi, thanks for that.

I have another 300 or so pictures with nice even light and contrast on the clothes as thats what i was asked to do there. The ones i posted are those i thought were interesting rather than useful

Just run the firmware update, managed to delete the before pictures by mistake, but here are the after shots, at is 800, 1600, and 3200 respectively.

Dont think its just me, seems to be a significant improvement!

very small aperture, not letting much light through which is not what you want for night photography.

The benefits of smaller apertures up to about f11 are wider depth of field which helps ensuring sharpness in landscape shots but beyond this there are typically negative consequences.
