[QUOTE="STM, post: 320443, member: 12827"] Pentax lenses got an ill deserved bad rap in the 70's through 80's. Pentax tried to market a "system" to compete with Nikon and Canon, but just like Minolta, they really did not quite measure up so Pentax concentrated more on the consumer market. The lenses were actually very good lenses, even many of the rather old M42 screw mount ones. Pentax was really a pioneer when it came to multicoating lenses. The 50mm f1.7 is actually a real jewel of a lens and it is very compact. [/QUOTE]
