It may be normal though, so if it takes good pictures why return it? If the price was low, it could be worth keeping.

I've had four of these over the years, all the same. It's a really useful lens, but I've never tried it on digital.

The focusing ring on these was always loose, but there shouldn't be any excessive play.

I removed a spam post Vic, but the notification would still have reached you. By the time you got here, the offending post had gone.......

Probably simply that people kept buying them. Do you remember the 50mm f/1.4 fever that struck here a couple of years back? It's an ideal portrait focal length of course, on APS-C. The Limited lenses were also legendary for quality and they still have it today. If they sell, then why not keep them going.

Of course now they all have a new lease of life with the K-1. Unless it was a Long Game and the intention was always there, so they were kept at the ready.

The list is covering those currently available new.

The longer list might contain many hundreds.....

Except that nobody would buy it as they waited for the reviews!

Beach side villas, my apologies!

What I didn't know was that every winter they are dismantled and stored safely, to be re-erected for the new season. We had a good chat with the guy who was painting them and he told us all about them in detail.
