This person used to make them none listed at present and list them on ebay. No need to reinvent the wheel. I assume you still have to "ruin" the lens.
Re: lens-hacking Author: rolf doerr Date: Hi, i have produced such an adapter. Thanks for listing the contact details for the guy that makes the adapters! I was rather sad to see they don't appear to be listed on Ebay any more as I had been thinking about them as a possible 'escape route' with a few of my treasured-primes if 'all else fails'. BTW simply removing the aperture lever won't ruin most pentax prime lenses as you don't have to break it The only problem is my remembering these adapters being rather expensive when they were listed on Ebay.
It's sharper wide open than the 1. We are speaking of a Fast Fifty, you get it to use it in low light situations. There is no point in spending money on a fast lens just to stop it down for better quality.
Of course if you want to do serious available light photography you should get the fastest lens you can afford regardless if a slower lens performs better wide open because you do need the shot, the quality is not the problem in foreground.
The 1. That said the FA 1. If bokeh is important than consider f1. The more blades the better the lens can render the DOF area usually one factor for a pretty bokeh. I just have to figure out where the lens has to sit to achieve infinity focus. From what the guy has done, he got one of the pentax 50mm 1. Is it worth the hefty price tag?

But please, let us buy them first Reply Reply with quote Reply to thread Complain. Clayphish wrote: So, my question is.. Clayphish wrote: Well.. I bought this lens for my K5II for portrait shots, its really usable in all aspects, even at 1. This is quite like the Pentax 50 I had 40 years ago, but it is optimized for a modern camera, and has autofocus, and an aperature ring, so you can set the aperature manually, if you want excellent for 'dumb' extension tubes.
Slightly bigger than the Pentax pancakes, it has excellent sharpness and is faster than any Pentax pancake to date. I use it mostly reversed, for macro phtography, but it works well as a short tele as well! A very usefull small telephoto, sharp with a wonderfull bokeh.
Ideal for portraits but also flowers Even sports if you're close enough to the action My best lens up to now! This is a top quality and rather cheap lens alternative to the highest quality and expensive lenses from the Pentax brand. I often use it as a all round lens under any situations; from the poor light indoor, in the sharp sunlight and in the portrait studio.
See www. At it's best stopped down to 8 or This lens is reasonably sharp from f2. It is cheap, and for the price it is a good lens. If the extra cost is no issue, I prefer the 40mm limited lens, which is better in any aspect. Build quality is more than adequate. This lens is a very nice addition to a Pentax bag.
It's certainly a lot faster than the kit lens and also quite a bit sharper by F4. Nice lens. Some weakness if you use it wide open, but at medium apertures the lens is superb. Buy it! This was my first purchase after the kit lens, and I was looking for a sharp lens with a bright aperture for low-light indoors stuff. Finally, I use exclusively Pentax digital bodies, namely a k-x, a k and a K3.
The build is good, and so are the materials, even if they are mostly plastic. It is small and fairly lightweight, very easy to carry around and unobtrusive. The lens truly shines, however, performance-wise. The colors are deep and rich true Pentax colors , the contrast wonderful, the bokeh creamy and beautiful. Considering its inherently shallow DOF, it has surprising depth; it is also fast and very, very sharp.
Read full review. I recently bought this lens and used it extensively on my holiday. Before that I used only kit lens so it took me a little time to get used to a prime. It's beautifully built. I just love it's small size and compactness.
I use Pentax k-x which is small camera so the whole setup is pretty small which makes it perfect for it's main role, portraiture, because you can get close to people without having the effect of a tank barrel in their face.
In some reviews I've read that it doesn't have quick shift focus, but it does, so you can adjust focus manually without switching the lens to manual mode. Picture quality is excellent! Not just sharpness, it also renders colors amazingly! And it doesn't need a lot of light to make beautiful photos. It opens really wide so you can go berserk in lo w light. For me it was great for night street photography. On the down side it is a bit soft wide open but it's not so bad and with a little post processing you can turn this into artsy dreamy stuff.
It also has a very shallow depth of field which can work wonders with your artistic ability but you have to be extremely precise and steady with focusing. Another thing i don't like is that in low light conditions sometimes it hunts for focus like a hungry puma and sometimes it even doesn't catch anything. But maybe i was pushing it into conditions where only owls and spiders see anything. Focus is run by a screw from camera body so it makes the usual buzzing sound which some people might find annoying but I almost never notice it.
It's a factor only if you like taking some serious up-close photos of people taking naps. I also don't like that it doesn't come with lens hood.
Why do manufacturers get cheap on little piece of plastic that makes real difference is beyond me. Compared to my kit lens it's much sharper, a lot more versatile light and depth of field since it can stop down all the way to 1. All in all i think it is an amazing lens, especially for it's price tag and I would definitely recommend it!
If you think 50mm is for you, don't think any more, go out and get it. The only advantage I see over the M lens is that it can focus automatically on a digital camera.
Optics are about the same. However, since I always shoot manual, I see no much difference. The difference in price between the M- and the FA- series lenses is to exaggerated.
