Pentax HD-FA 50mm f/1.4 Overview
By Photo’s Matt Cottom
A fast normal-length prime, this Pentax HD PENTAX-FA 50mm f/1.4 features a bright maximum f/1.4 aperture in a compact and portable design. The lens offers a natural field of view similar to the human eye and is an excellent choice for street photography, portraiture, and more. It provides a minimum focusing distance of just 1.5′, allowing you to capture nearby subjects and dynamic imagery. Constructed with specialized optical elements to cover the full-frame image circle of K-mount cameras, this lens utilizes a multilayer HD coating to ensure high-contrast images with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness.
Lens Design A normal-length prime optimized for full-frame Pentax K-mount cameras, the lens can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an approximate equivalent focal length of 75mm. Fully compatible with all K-mount DSLR cameras and K-mount film cameras, this lens allows you to retain all camera functions. Manufactured with a high-grade HD (high-definition) coating, this multilayer coating improves light transmittance to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with minimal flare and ghosting, even in demanding lighting conditions such as backlighting. Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture contributes to both low-light performance as well as offering precise control over depth of field. An eight-blade diaphragm control mechanism produces soft and natural bokeh from f/1.4 to f/2.8 while also minimizes the streaking effect of point light sources. Well-suited for a wide variety of subjects including street photography and portraiture, this prime lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 1.5′ and allows you to easily capture nearby subjects.
