I'm sure I saw your CL and LTM lens when you last visited…. Cotty, Last time I was there, I had the Leica CL and a lens kit of two R lenses, the Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8 and Summilux-R 50mm f/1.4. I don't think I had the Pentax-L 43mm Special yet, I'd only recently obtained the CL and had the two R lenses from when I was shooting with the Leica SL. Yes, just checked my records: I ordered the CL in July 2018 and carried that on the trip. I arrived home on October 4. I bought the Pentax-L 43 Special on November 1, 2018, and the last time I visited you was late that summer.

Re: Pentax 43mm/1.9 Ltd
I have. It images well, albeit a good bit of the imaging is lost due to the 2x crop (better on APS-C where it has a little more space to work with). Ervgonomically, it’s twisty. It has a very light focusing helicoid with a short throw for the SLR AF, which makes manual focus precision a little difficult at times. I gave up on it, sadly. It’s a wonderful lens on the Pentax bodies it was dedigned for. I finally replaced it for the CL with the Leica thread mount version, and it’s a peach of a lens.

You've just answered it ;-) No, I was wondering what it's like with the MFT adapter. Obvs the sensor won't reach the corners so I imagine - as with all 'full frame' lenses on MFT - it will generally be a better performer wide open. Given that the lens is optically better than the clutch of Pentax K 50s in various guises, I wonder how it would behave as a portrait lens on MFT. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit || (O) | -- _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

No but I could, I do have an adapter. What's the question?

Out of interest, has anyone on the list ever paired this lens with a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit || (O) | -- _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
