This is an independent review of the new SMC Pentax-FA 50mm f1.4 Classic lens. It has been fine-tuned from the original 1990s FA 50mm f1.4, and produces beautiful images as well as the most extra-ordinary rainbow flares.
The lens's optical design is similar to the 7 element Takumar 50mm f1.4 lenses and I've included some side-by-side comparisons between the Classic and a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4.
