Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4 Lens
Customer Review: The lens I needed - and you might too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say, stepping up to a DSLR from a point-and-shoot camera was one of the best decisions I've made regarding electronics; the picture quality is out of this world, and I can take shots in challenging lighting that allows me to get pictures of my ever-moving daughter that I never could dream of before. Typical P&S cameras take far too long from focusing to capturing to get the photo before my daughter's out-of-frame, but the Pentax DSLR does the trick. Trouble was, I still couldn't get perfect pictures in very dim, low-light environments, like a living room at night.
That all changed with this lens - for about $225 lightly used, I got an amazing value that's totally transformed my camera! Low light holds no fear, and I've taken pictures in dim lighting at speeds that don't allow subjects to blur! Furthermore, the lens quality is fantastic, and the bokeh it produces is gorgeous. This lens suits me for both portrait photography and low-light family photos, and it saved me from buying another DSLR with better high-ISO performance. I never go beyond ISO 400 now, and my photos are much better for it.
Pentax's new lens might be fine, but this one provided an amazing value and quality that will surely keep me enjoying my Pentax DSLR for years to come.
