AF Convenient But Loud. Decent Image Quality.

Build Quality - plastic but honestly it looks good with my Pentax K-5.
Autofocus - terrifyingly loud. needs some getting used to.
Focus ring - loud as well. feels a little heavy like riding a stationary bike.
Color aberration - very heavy, very noticeable.
Bokeh - it works well but because of the color aberration it looks ugly at times.

Overall I think it's a decent value to have at this price. Just don't expect dramatically great images. Try shoot at night, shoot at streets, shoot small things, involve people to get the most out of this lens. Use f1.4 or f1.8 very carefully. Maybe there are better M or A lenses out there, but I think using a single range lens is already a bit of work with all the walking back and forth. I don't want to add dialing focus ring every dang time on top of that. I want to shoot a lot of sights and things and quickly move on.

A worthwhile standard lens

It's nicely made compact light and clean with crisp images a plus is being able to use a polarizing filter without a rotating lens housing...

Best for value/price Pentax 50mm lens

It is a very good lens for all kinds of shooting, even on wide open aperture it giver sharp image, but requires accurate focusing. I've made with it high-detailed panoramas at f8-f16, painting-like landscapes at f1.4 and portraits at f1.4-f2.8. Also it is good for evening/night time shooting and works fine at 0 - 3 degrees below zero. The last but not the least feature to mention - it has metering and DoF scale, that helps in landscape and street shooting.Read full review
