Cons: As an FA lens, not always perfect for a DSLR. I have focus problems at times. Price went up a lot in the last few years. It was $200 for a very long time and then jumped dramatically in price (sadly) before I bought it!
Pros: Great IQ, bokeh. Very versatile at 50 mm on a DSLR.
Summary: Great lens - get one!

Cons: Price has gone up... Can be a bit soft at wider apertures

Pros: what a nice lens this is, 75 mm 1,4 on Pentax . Excellent quality, again Pentax feeling, special.. robust. So fine to work with this lens for low light portraits, together with the in-body anti shake of the Pentax. Here Pentax and Sony rules ! Beautiful bokeh .
Summary: value for money
