Have a look at the DA*55 if you want modern optics and coatings. It's stellar on the K-1 just as long as you don't use the hood.
If you're after the more traditional ones then the F/FA 50/1.7 are excellent, and sharper than the 1.4 lenses, while the FA43 is in a different class due to its excellent colour rendering.
Thanks Haris. Is the DA*55 not affected by the fact that it's an APSC lens...? I need it for a K1 ? What's the issue with the hood please ? At present im just really looking to replace my existing 50mm as I consider therepair cost, better put to a new one... Need a fast lens as I shoot a lot of low light gig photography.. And often f2.8 isnt fast enough..Have a look at the DA*55 if you want modern optics and coatings. It's stellar on the K-1 just as long as you don't use the hood.

After breaking the filter ring on my FA 50 1.4. Always found it a bit soft. If im honest.
I'm looking to purchase a new 50mm lens, for my K1... But the question is. With such a myriad of 50's available which one do you go for ?
Must be fast and auto focus. The new one is expensive and heavy. To those that have purchased is it really worth 2 to 3 times the price ?
Should I be looking at 43mm Limited ? What' your opinion. Can we discuss ?

That certainly rules me out then...!! Love Macro photography. Now really appreciate it even more, since trying and failing on many many occasions....

Great effect, super photo (IMO - of the humble variety)
