Hi,

I really enjoy to shoot with this compact sized 50mm macro lens.

It's very sharp lens, and I believe that it will not disappoint with Pentax K-1 either!

And flare isn't problem at all...

Even after all these years Sony still hasn't figured out how to control noise.

But the lens is excellent. I have it, one of three macros that I own. Do I need three macro lenses? Probably not, but I can't part with any of them.

Well, I don't know about noise, or how much Sony has to do with it, maybe it's more of my PP processing work...But of course you can do more noise free image if want to:

Yep, this my "FF-try-out" was meant to show/test more like how lenses perform on FF sensor, and Pentax DFA 50/2.8 macro is so far one of the very best what I have tried . I've always liked it, also with my APS-C Pentax.

I have also Tamron 90/2.8 Di and Vivitar S1 90/2.5 & Vivitar 55/2.8 macros, probably pretty nice with FF sensor too - thought, I haven't tried them yet.

cheers,

Ari
