Wide open feasible, from F2,2 very sharp in deed. Finally, a year ago, I got my K-1, so now I have gained some experience with this lens in both APS-C and FF format shooting.įor both formats, I am very pleased with the sharpness and rendering of colors.

Though I did not use it very much with my APS-C bodies (K-7 / K-5 / K-3), I saved the lens in hope for getting a full frame Pentax someday. It sure wasn't in mint condition, but optically all right. Years ago I got my copy of SMC-F 1,7/50 at a very low price, so I was lucky. Sharpness: 10 Aberrations: 7 Bokeh: 9 Autofocus: 8 Handling: 8 Value: 10 Camera Used: K-7, K-5, K-3, K-1 Sharp, lightweight, nice rendering and bokeh, suits both FF and APS-C

All shots were taken in Vancouver, Canada.Ĭamera: *ist Film: Kodak Pro Image 100 ISO: 100Ĭamera: MZ-S Film: Kodak Ektachrome 100 ISO: 100Ĭamera: SF1n Film: Ilford FP4 Plus 125 ISO: 125 Photos are medium resolution scans from original slides and negatives. I was in Excellent + condition and cost $60.00CDN. I bought my F50/1.7 lens at a local camera shop’s used section. I gave the K55/1.8 a perfect 10 and it’s the only budget 50-55mm Pentax lens that deserves it. If you want a better handling/built normal/standard budget prime, then the K55/1.8 beats all the Pentax 50/1.7's hands down. The F50/1.7 is a good budget 50/1.7 lens, but it and all the other 50/1.7 lenses are a bit too small for my liking. I rated the M50/1.7 a 9, the A50/1.7 a 6 and will rate the F50/1.7 a 8.5, rounded down to an 8. There is not much to differentiate between these three 50/1.7 prime lenses as they are so similar, so it comes down to personal taste and how you interact with a 50mm lens. Focusing ring is too small and the distance scale is lousy.

Manual focusing is also good.į50/1.7: Decent build, auto focus and has the “A” setting. M50/1.7: This is the best built of the three, good manual focusing and has no “A” setting.Ī50/1.7: Terrible plastic aperture ring assembly, does have the “A” setting. The only difference really is the construction, focusing and the “A” setting. I also own the M50/1.7 & A50/1.7 and all three lenses have the same optical formula, minimum focusing distance and are around the same size. The F50/1.7 vs my other 50mm f1.7 normal/standard primes: Pentax never made an AF f1.2 or f2.0 50mm lens.

The manual focus A Series f1.2 & f2.0 lenses were still available alongside the F Series lenses. Normally f/1.7 would be considered a fast maximum aperture, but as the slowest of the two it was the budget 50mm AF option. Pentax had four 50mm lenses available in the A Series (f1.2, f1.4, f1.7 & f2.0), in the auto focus F Series you only had the f1/4 & f1.7 as options. The F50/1.7 uses the soft S70-70 lens case. The hood I use the most is the round rubber "RH-RC 49mm", which collapses and is easily stored in your camera bag. These hoods will also work on the other M, A, F & FA normal/standard 49mm filter thread primes.
There were four lens hoods that were available for the F50/1.7, 49mm square plastic, round plastic, round metal and round rubber. The distance scale is behind a plastic window and is too compressed for my liking, overall pretty bad compared to the distance scale on a manual focus lens. I don’t do auto focusing, so no comment on the F50/1.7’s auto focusing.
The aperture ring is smooth enough and kudos to Pentax for not using a plastic aperture ring like they did on the A Series version. The F50/1.7 is on the small size for me and has a very tiny manual focusing ring. So it feel pretty solid for a small lens. Good build for a budget auto focus lens and the F50/1.7 is the heaviest of Pentax’s 50/1.7 lenses. On APS-C you get the FOV of a short telephoto, interesting but less useful. On full frame this is a normal/standard lens and your go to prime focal length. The similar manual focus A50/1.7 was available alongside the F50/1.7 till 1989.Įxcellent optics and decent bokeh, for a budget prime lens. This was Pentax’s first auto focus 50mm lens. The F50/1.7 was released in 1987 and remained in production until 1991, when it was replaced with the FA version. A bit too small for my taste.Ĭamera Used: Pentax Manual and Auto focus film bodies.
Small focusing ring and lousy distance scale. Several hoods will fit like PH-S49 (50mm) and screw-in type metal and folding rubber hoodsĮxcellent optics, “A’ setting & good build. Optically the lens is the same as its A-series predecessor. This is a fast and compact standard autofocus lens.
