Price (S$): $165
Description:
Selling a fast manual focus Pentax SMC K 50mm F1.4 lens. This is by far the sharpest 50/1.4 lens I've ever had (and I've had almost all Pentax 50/1.4 lens including MF and AF ones, even M42 ones), w/ smooth bokeh and great color rendering. It's one of my collection. But I've got too many lenses to use, and too little time to shoot around nowadays. Decide to let this one go.

The lens looks nearly like new, and works flawlessly. Glass is as new w/ no scratch/fungus, only few tiny dust. Cosmetically there is almost no sign of use at all except very few minor paint loss at the edge of the aperture ring . The lens works as good as any MF lens can get w/ smoothest focusing. Aperture blades are dry and clean.

It's a PK mount lens, can be used on all PK mount cameras including current dSLR cameras in M mode. Very very sharp lens with great full metal lens body. Comes with original matching Pentax front and rear caps. Great for use or collection.

Asking for $165 only (the same lens has been selling higher than the M or m42 versions on eBay or elsewhere, and it's a much sought-after lens than the other 50/1.4 versions)

Here is an interesting read about this K version vs M version:
