Pentax HD FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited

Pros: Really pro construction. Pretty fast, build quality, light, sharp, aperture ring available, remarkable center sharpness

Cons: Lack of tropicalization (from what I understand).

Opinion: Tested on KP and K3 III monochrome. For portraits and photos of the figure I find it an excellent lens considering that I am not a professional but a medium-low range amateur photographer I am not well enough to define the chromatic aberrations that it could introduce.... obviously even less on monochrome.... having said that... The sharpness in the center is exceptional from f/1.9, and maintains a fairly soft blur and offers a very good three-dimensionality in my opinion, The vignetting is present at full aperture, but it contributes to the charm of this lens that winks at vintage
