SMC Pentax-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Lens

SMC Pentax-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Lens: Verdict

Although a fairly unusual focal length for APS-C DSLRs the 43mm proves to be a versatile lens with excellent imaging properties. It is fairly expensive, but suggests comparison with Leica quality at a fraction of Leica prices. In this sense it is good value for money. It will be appreciated most by those who need a lens capable of producing large prints or the highest quality for magazine reproduction. It is compact, ideal for travelling light, and has a superior rendering to say the 50mm f/1.4 FA lens.

A beautifully made lens capable of superb results.
