Subject: Re: Focus Feel FA 50/1.4
I am considering the purchase of an FA 50/1.4 before they are history. I use
manual focus Pentax bodies, MX, K2, etc. I want the best optics but am
concerned about the Focus feel in manual mode. Opinions will be much
appreciated.Thanks, Bill Lawlor
Talking about an AF lens's focus feel favourably is like trying to talk favourably of cat breath.
The lens has the minimalist focus ring hung right at the front of the lens, which is too bad, because the manual focus isn't really bad.
More like kitten breath, I guess.
For the money, I would be looking for a nice K50/1.4, unless you want an AF lens for future cameras.
