My SMC-A 50mm f1.2 arrived today. It's stunning.

Here's a wide open shot in low light at f1.2

So, if you keep the aperture ring on A at all times, you should never have a problem. I hope.
Yowza. Thanks for that info. I guess I'll keep the 50 1.2 and other A lenses on my K10D and leave the 50 1.4M on the MX.

Actually, I've found a brand new one in Japan from an eBay vendor called Matsuiyastore, so no need to keep me on the list.

He has more, by the way. See ebay item 150142428678

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Please add me to the list for an SMC-A 50mm f/1.2 BTW I bought a K10D and 43mm lens from you today, and looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Cheers,

Simon.

I've read a few times recently that this lens is still available new in Japan. Does anyone know where, or is this an internet myth?

I'm a long time Capture One Pro user and can't speak highly enough of the package, and especially the JFI labs plugins ( http://www.jfilabs.com/ ) which give me lots of options/film emulations for converting to BW.
