Customer Review: Excellent value for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
Brand new for $49 shipped, it is impossible to fault this lens for the absolute best bargain KA-mount MF lens. I bought it to use as a short telephoto with my Pentax *ist DS. At 80mm equivalent focal length, it is ideal for portraiture. I already have an SMCP-M 50mm f/1.4, which does work on the DS, albeit only in Manual mode and requires pushing the AE-L to take a exposure meter reading. I wanted an SMCP-A version for outdoor full-length portraits, where auto-exposure would be very helpful. I went with MF because I prefer the metal construction to the all-plastic AF versions. Besides, I like the ability to focus precisely on the model's eyes/nose that MF allows me.
In many ways, this lens is also a good alternative to buying the Pentax 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens. It isn't much longer dimensionally and is a full stop faster. When mounted on a DSLR, the 40mm pancake lens becomes an odd 64mm equivalent - too short for portraiture and too long to be considered "normal" lens.
Kudos to Pentax for still producing the SMCP-A 50mm f/2.
