I'd say the poll should be called 'The Best Prime Lens for System that I use(d)' to be fair

I own this lens and genuinly think that it deserves lot more than 4%... https://www.dpreview.com/articles/9093275614/have-your-say-best-prime-lens-of-2018 Let's show some support

Pentax D-FA* 50mm 1.4 not on the list? Category killer. Shame

@Rensol And is your Photoshop licence portable and cross platforms? And does Photoshop offer a free option?

Actually, due to scheduling change, the next Photokina is already in the 1st half of 2019! And you can bet that it won't be as hot from competition announcements as the latest one. Which could ...

It seems to have unnaturaly wide DOF at 1.2 and little uninspiring bokeh... but that is all subjective. good sharpness and fine colours. wouldn't trade for my Pentax D-FA 50/1.4 though :)

You may want to know that these 'others' are some of the original Nokia managers and researchers. So, in fact, with a bit of reserve we can call them a Nokia again

@Clyde Thomas Nikola Tesla was a weirdo and genius at the same time. Happy to join the camp :) (not claiming it myself)

@onlyfreeman I think that if DPR was here primarily for the benefit of photographers, they would have to base their review plan and style on true and commercial interest free evaluation. The whole...

@dpthoughts I have only encountered this 'severe optical flaw' on one picture so far. And just clocked 3k with this lens. Go figure

@dpthoughts excuse me but, please, stop you theorising. I have the combo and am telling you my real life experience. Unbearable maybe for you to believe, but perfectly bearable for me to take...

@Stujomo I also have Pentax FA50 1.7 which is much smaller and optically great. I stoped usig it as soon as the fat fifty arrived. Somehow it seems to be made for K-1 and grip and feels great and...

@Akpinxit I just came from 7 hour shooting with the fat fifty and the only thing that hurts are my feet. Go figure

It is made big to be optically great. And it feels really well balanced on K-1 so you stop thinking about the size in 5 minutes

@panther_fan you'll be surprised but I always hold it in my hand with strap double coiled around my wrist. Only put it in bag for lunch. And no, I am not a gym freak :)

My apologies, missunderstanding on my side.
I do feel, however, that the preview is unusually cilrcled around 'the heavy', 'the expensive' and 'the aberrations'. It is designed to be optically...

No, it's not 'almost certainly OEM'. It is Ricoh original design and Tokina will licence it for Opera. Design story...
