Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4 SLII

sl2 Looks pretty good to me - in brick wall tests (not posted) it seems to have better corners and less light fall-off wide open than the Pentax A50/1.4. It's a beautifully made lens, a joy to use, but a lot bigger and heavier than the Pentax. Regards, Jim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss
