Classic lens!, November 6, 2007 By This review is from: Pentax SMCP-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Lens with Case and Hood (Black) (Electronics) The 43mm Limited has a reputation as a diva - very very good but temperamental. I've only seen mostly the very very good bits so far. I did some adhoc comparisons (with not only other SLR lenses but with a Ricoh Diacord and a Kodak Retina IIa) which clearly indicated the superior resolving power and dynamics of this lens. Where others start to seem fuzzy or begin to flare, the 43mm is still showing good definition. The color balance and gradation is excellent.
May 2008 update: I've since compared the 43 to several Takumars (two versions of the 50/1.4 and a 55/1.8) and even wide open the 43 has more resolution and contrast. In some situations the Takumars have more magic, but the 43 always keeps up and often exceeds them in actual image quality. One of its biggest advantages is how well it resists flare - often flare is what reduces contrast in an image.
I like 43mm on a full 35mm frame, and on a digital body it is short enough to work well indoors where 50mm... Read more
12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: another jewel from Pentax, December 13, 2010 By This review is from: Pentax SMCP-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Lens with Case and Hood (Black) (Electronics) The 43mm f1.9 limited was the first of Pentax's limited series FA lenses. It's been around for some time now. And, in recent years, it has not received as many glowing reviews as the other FA limiteds (these being the 31mm f1.8 and the 77mm f1.8). A frequent complaint is a bit of softness at maximum aperature (and some chromatic aberation). Well, what to say? It is true that the lens becomes sharper (and CA lessens) as it is stopped down. (What lens doesn't?) And it is true that the other two limited lenses have a slight edge in this regard. However, if forced to choose between the 43mm limited and the 31mm limited (the undisputed resolution king) I would choose the 43mm in a heartbeat. The colour saturation on this lens is superb, and when stopped down to f4 or beyond it is bitingly sharp.
This is, quite possibly, the most versatile lens I own. Certainly, if forced to carry only one lens, it's the diminutive 43mm limited that I reach for. Wide enough for interiors and... Read more

I bought it because I used to own a 50mm f1.4 that never felt wide enough and after that I owned a 35mm f2.8 that always felt too wide. For an everyday walk around lens this lens is just right for me. Using this lens with my Pentax K-5 is a joy.
