Pentax smc FA 50 mm f/1.4
1. Introduction
Although 50 mm lenses on small APS-C/DX sensors have lost a bit of its versatility, they are still very popular among amateur photographers. These simple, efficient and well done optical constructions with good fastness are perfectly suitable for, e.g. wider portraits on small sensors.
If you are a Pentax body owner, you have an opportunity to buy a smc Pentax FA 50 mm f/1.4 model and its price, for an f/1.4 fastness, is quite affordable. The lens can be bought already for 360 $, gaining an advantage over similar rival products.
