SMC Pentax-DA* 1:2.8 50-135 ED [IF] SDM - now £430!
This is a very good price for a very good lens. Paid £500 for my copy and without the pouch.

The M50 is manual exposure only and you would need to do stop down metering whilst the A50 is fully automatic exposure.

I have a Pentax A50 f/1.2 and it's worked great at 1.2 with all the Pentax DSLRs I've owned... K10D, K20D, K-5 ( three of them ) and K-5IIs
Did it auto focus?

1. Its alright, though not brilliant
2. I think they send an email with download instructions
3. I don't know what PDFS is but it is a PDF file
4. Payment is US dollars and I paid with Paypal.

It's only $15 so it's not a huge sum, so on that basis it's worth getting. I think it's better then the Pentax handbook and also gives you information/history about Pentax, accessories and general photography techniques.

Regards

I would be looking at the SMC A f1.7 50mm, the advantage of this over the M version is that you can alter the depth of field
Surely depth of field is only altered by aperture setting, subject distance and if using a zoom the focal length.

The advantage of an 'A' as opposed to a 'M' is the 'A' can be used with the automatic exposure settings instead of using the green button to do stop down metering.

I think the OP just wants to improve on the built in mic.
