I would count myself very lucky if it were the f1.7 if it were an A f1.7
I'd do the happy dance.

As of approximately 6:00 PM central time this evening, I'll be the
proud owner of a Pentax K1000 and what I suspect will be the 50mm f/2
(though, hoping for a pleasant surprise on the lens). Having spoken
to the owner, it's been very lightly used, is fully functioning, and
in need of a battery. I'd been afraid I was going to miss out on it,
but as luck would have it, a little bit of computer tech work suddenly
presented itself which allowed me to go ahead bite on it.
I know it's not the greatest camera and/or lens on the planet, but I'm
pretty excited about finally being able to lay hands on a 50mm prime
without having to order the thing over the 'net. I have a feeling I'm
going to get a LOT of use out of this lens on my K-x (and my recent
discovery of the advantages of raw shooting -- [still sobbing over the
shots lost to the jpg engine]), and may even venture into a bit of B&W
film photography before all is said and done.
Anyway ... here's asking for crossed fingers toward the hope for a
f/1.2 -- but, at $40 US, I'll take it whatever it is.
