I seriously want the Pentax 50mm f1.4

My current 50mm of choice is an Auto Sears f1.7 and don’t let the “Auto” fool you, that thing is all manual. Not that I have anything against it being manual, there are some situations where AF is a HUGE plus. Before that, my 50 of choice was a Pentax smc M f2. Why downgrade to a Sears branded Ricoh? The rich colors, awesome contrast, and incredible sharpness, even more than the vintage Pentax. If only Pentax made a 50mm AF that was along the lines of the Canon 50mm f1.8 at around the same price. Oh well…

Got another lens today, for $2

Sure its just another old manual 50mm f1.7 Auto Sears, but it makes for some really nice shots. And the price was right. But heck, half the fun is in the excitement of finding things like that hidden in the back of a display case at a thrift store.
