Comment by Trigga Nometry posted on Fast lens for a *ist DL? at 07/07/2006 - 04:05
I am looking for a good fast lens for natural lighting for use on my *ist DL. I want to have it still use the auto focus feature of the camera.
I have been considering the Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4 Lens
I am kind of new and do not quite know for sure if this lens will fit my *ist DL and still have the auto focus feature.
Does any one know for sure? I ask because the lens can be bought at a very good price for a fast lens and yes, I know that it is rather old.
Thanks a bunch!

Well this explains a lot of what is also happening to me. It seems as though when my AF500 goes off I nearly blind anyone around me because it is always in full power when in manual or in TTL.
I am using the *ist DL.

It'll work fine and AF no problem on your DL. By Pentax standards that's not an old lens either - in fact there isn't a more modern equivalent.
