Bad lens condition good for portraiture: "There are many small scratches on the front glass. The rear glass is better, with but a few scuff marks. There appears to be a few specks of dust inside, but nothing unusual." ...
"Because of these imperfections, this lens will probably not be as sharp as a pristine sample, but it is actually better to have a lens with slight softness when taking portraits, and in fact many people spend extra dollars buying soft focus filters or resort to smearing vaseline on filters to try to soften the image for portraiture. With this lens, you may not have to go through all that. It has a built-in soft focus filter of sorts! :)" http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1337806995 Tonghang. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
