At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Classic lens!
The 43mm Limited has a reputation as a diva - very very good but temperamental. I've only seen mostly the very very good bits so far. I did some adhoc comparisons (with not only other SLR lenses but with a Ricoh Diacord and a Kodak Retina IIa)...

I feel confident that this lens will in time become a classic. It screams quality! If you live in an area where top line Pentax lenses are hard to come by, speak to your local agent and get one in to shoot a role through your camera, and you will...
PROS: Absolutely a fantastic lens. It is sharp all the way through, especially sharp from F4- F11. The lens hood does a great job. Close focusing range. Images just seem to jump off the page at you, especially when using a shallow depth of field.
CONS: Like another reviewer, I managaed to strip the outer thread of a filter when putting the lens hood back in position with very little effort -(heliopan brand filter). Also, although it is a little pricey compared to standard 50mm lenses, in my case it will

This lens is quite simply stunning,worth changing camera systems alone for.I use this lens attached to a Pentax mz5n and the results are incredible. I have used this with provia f100 slide film and the detail is amazing.I recently photographed a...
PROS: Super sharp,high contrast,metal finish, versatility,small size and weight.
CONS: Care required when fitting the metal lens hood to thin filters such as Hoya Pro 1 as it is very easy to strip the thread on the filter

You can keeping enlarging on screen from a photo CD and keep finding more detail not static. An 8 by 10 print is a piece of cake.
PROS: Three hundred vacation pictures in Paris with the only dud caused by wrong film choice. Magnificent detail and color from bright sun to available light to flash. Perfect bokeh.
CONS: When the picture is wrong you cannot blaim the lense.

Did Pentax really intend this to be used, or merely as a collector's item? What camera is it supposed to match up with? The sturdy metal construction seems out of place on their plasticky SLR's, whether they are black or those with fake plastic...
PROS: Compact, beautiful metal construction. Unusual focal length.
CONS: Lack of comparably finished camera to mount it on.
